  • Опубліковано 3 лют 2019
  • Before the famous Suzuki Escudo of Gran Turismo fame, Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima developed for years different and increasingly powerful versions of the Swift/Cultus in Twin Engined Spec. This is one of the very last and for the surprise of many, not racing on Pikes Peak Hillclimb. It is racing on the All Japan Dirt Trial series, year 1995. Powered by two G13B engines producing a total of approximately 700Hp and moving only 840Kg. A Full Spaceframed machine with a Central Driving position and a Legend of Hillclimb Racing at the wheel on his prime. So the best is just to enjoy this little Gem from the past...

It was after some years that they evolved the 1000hp escudo that they could break Peugeot’s record. Suzuki is a nice company but Motorsport wise European rally teams are far more advanced .
