Insane, Tire-Shredding Suzuki Might Boy Mini Ute with LS1-V8 [Video]

Come on, admit it, tire-smoking burnouts are a blast to watch. Even more so when the vehicle in question is a Japanese kei car stuffed with a GM-sourced LS1 V8. Enter the world of the Curupt, a wildly modified Suzuki Might Boy that comes to us from the land of Down Under.
Largely unknown to most of the world, the Suzuki Mighty Boy is a toy-sized pickup truck-style model from the glorious 1980s that was sold in Japan as well as Australia and Cyprus between 1985 and 1988. Despite its promising name, the fact that it was based on the Giugiaro-designed Suzuki Curve kei car meant the Mighty Boy was anything but ‘mighty’ as power came from a puny 0.5-liter three-cylinder engine delivering around 28 ponies.

All New Suzuki SX4 Sportback

Suzuki SX4 is more a practical car with good interior space. Its high ride height means it's easy to climb in or out of and front and rear space is good considering the car's size. The boot is smaller than many other superminis, with just 270-litres of space, rising to 625 litres with the seats folded.


2011 Suzuki SX4 Sportback Side in Motion View

Personal Space: Unless you're six foot tall there is more than enough in the front and the "spacious" back seat for you. There are plenty of handy storage compartments, door pockets and cup holders for all your stuff. The dark cloth is great for covering up spills and other accidents - though it does get warm in the summer months.

The Suzuki SX4 has a pleasant chunky look, with rugged wheelarch and side skirt extensions and a raised ride height. SX4 cabin shares its basic look with the Japanese manufacturer's other recent models, such as the Swift. The front end shares more of a family look with Fiat, while the view from the sides is reminiscent of the Daihatsu Terios mini off-roader.

2011 The Suzuki-Solio

The company was originally founded in 1909 by Michio Suzuki as the Suzuki Loom Company that manufactured weaving looms for Japan's silk industry. For the first 30 years of the company's existence, the manufacturing was focused on the development of these looms and their distribution worldwide. Michio Suzuki also filed as many as 120 patents of different products during his time with the company. The company's first motor vehicle was manufactured and distributed to the public in 1955. It was called the 'Suzulight' and was a lightweight car as evidenced by its name.




The Wagon R will get an overhaul this year. The Solio that Maruti showcased at the Auto Expo this year is an indicator to things of the future. The reworked Wagon R will have more legroom and a new face as well. I expect a diesel to be slotted in when Suzuki is ready with Fiat's 1.3-litre Multijet.
