Through our Personal Import Service, we get some fantastic requests and we think the Suzuki Twin might be one of the most wonderfully quirky cars we’ve sourced.
Making its debut in 2003, Suzuki's design chief, Moriyoshi Hattori, likened it to something a child would draw. If Noddy went full JDM, perhaps this would be his wheels?
Now, there’s small cars and there’s the Twin! With a wheelbase of just 1.8 metres, it’s comfortably smaller than the Toyota IQ which arrived a few years later.
This 2 seater city car is truly ‘back to basics’ motoring. No power steering, no air conditioning and yet there’s something brilliantly charming about it when sitting in the cabin. There's something great about a car that essentially has nothing to go wrong.
The rear screen neatly lifts up to chuck your luggage in the back, plus the passenger seat folds entirely flat for added practicality. Also, it may well just have the single greatest cup holder fitted to the driver's side door card.
Powered by Suzuki’s 658cc K16A, 3 cylinder engine, it puts out a whopping 43bhp... However it only weighs 570kg! This example is paired with the 5 speed manual.
The Twin is the smallest car Suzuki has ever produced, and this particular fresh import is now with its new owner here in the UK. As an avid fan and owner of small quirky Japanese cars, the modifications have already began, fitting a set of RAYS TE37 wheels, we can't wait to see what he does next!
