JDM spec Suzuki Alto Turbo RS concept car unveiled

Suzuki have officially announced that they will introduce a Alto Turbo RS concept car of the new Alto compact hatchback at the 2015 Tokyo Auto Salon next month. As the name suggests, the new model will be a more powerful car and sportier version of the recently launched popular kei car.

While the fascia of the regular car sports a retro-looking grille and a straightforward bumper, the RS gets asymmetrical slats on the grille embellished in chrome. The quadrilateral-shaped headlamps are projector units with a chrome garnish. The front bumper gets modified fog lamps while the OVRMs and alloy wheels are painted in red. The car also boasts of an RS decal near the rear window.

Changes to the cabin include the dual tone paint scheme and Recaro seats. The interior have been revamped slightly and features a mix of circular and rectangular AC vents. We can expect 'RS' badging on the seats and other upholstery in the car.

The Suzuki Alto Turbo RS concept gets a turbocharged three pot 660cc petrol mill that churns out 51bhp of power and 63Nm of torque. This mill comes mated to a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic gearbox. Suzuki might offer a four-wheel-drive model making justice to the name of the turbo variant that will deliver a high-end performance and a sharp response.

More details will be available when Suzuki unveils the car at the Tokyo Auto Salon that is scheduled to take place from January 9 to 11, 2015 in Chiba.
