Unique Suzuki Jimny

A Unique Take on the Suzuki Jimny

Suzuki Jimny

Every now and then, a car comes along that makes you stop and do a double take, and this custom Suzuki Jimny is definitely one of those cars. This British version of the SJ413, which might ring a bell under the name Suzuki Samurai in the U.S., has been reimagined with eye-catching mods that make it look as if it leapt from the vibrant pages of a 90s tuner magazine.

Bold Design

This Jimny sports a fiery Lamborghini orange paint job set off by an aggressive body kit that gives the front end a perpetually scowling look. The transformation is capped by a dramatic long headlight brow – a nod to old-school car tuning style that was popular a couple of decades back.

Performance Upgrades

Originally, the SJ413 model boasted around 63 horsepower thanks to its 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine. But this custom Jimny has seen its horsepower boosted to 110. This increase is achieved through a series of engine modifications including the installation of dual Weber 45s, a high-lift cam, flat-top pistons, and a four-branch manifold. It’s got the spirit and sound to match its bold looks, even if it doesn’t quite deliver the same muscle as bigger 4x4s on the market.

On and Off the Road

Beyond the flashy exterior, this Suzuki retains some of its original off-road chops. With its transfer box configurations, it can shift between low and high gear ratios, making it suitable for off-road adventures, much like its more traditional 4×4 contemporaries, such as the Ford Bronco. However, expect a different auditory experience; it probably sounds more like a muscular rally car with those Webers gulping air.

Unique Appeal

Completely decked out in modifications, this vehicle is likely a labor of love. It may not cater to everyone’s taste, but its distinct style and upgraded performance find a niche of their own. With a listing price of around $33,300, it’s in the ballpark of the cost of a lightly-used modern Jimny. Those intrigued by unique vehicles can check out this beast to see if it might be a fit for them.
