Meet the wildest Suzuki Jimny in the world!

The team at Twisted Automotive have gone to town on this little Suzuki Jimny, and Mat’s about to see if he should add the same modifications to his own Jimny!

To start off, let’s take a peek under the bonnet. This Jimny retains the same 1.5-litre petrol engine, but it’s had a turbocharger added to it. As a result, the power increase has been boosted from 101hp to 165hp! The torque has also increased, raising from 130Nm to around 200Nm.

There have also been a number of chassis upgrades added, including some Bilstein dampers and an anti-roll bar at the rear. The car has also been lifted by 2-inches, along with having some chunky all-terrain tyres added.

When it comes to the design, there are a few minor changes, including the adding of decals and the bumper being painted to match the body colour. Either way, it’s still unmistakably a Jimny!

But once you step inside, there are a number of properly notable upgrades! For starters, there’s loads of leather added across the seats and along the dash, which is in a really smart black & brown two-tone effect. There’s been Alcantara added to the roof as well, to give it that true mini G63 feeling!

However, there are a couple of issues. For one, this is built on the van version, so there are no rear seats! And because of this, an after market infotainment system has had to be added, and it doesn’t come with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto!

So what do you think, is this Jimny worth the £60,000 price tag?! Or does the standard Jimny still reign supreme? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!
