Suzuki Swift as the base model comes with a 101hp engine and it’s a very nice small hatchback with a very reasonable price tag. Then there is the Sport version which packs 126hp for those who want their cute Swift to be a bit faster. But a Japanese tuner called Monster Sport thinks that real petrolheads might be interested in this car as well, so they’ve come up with a 145hp sport model for them!

It has a very cool name too, Monster NX16, sounds like an anti-tank missile! To get this much power out of that 1.6 liter engine they had to re-program Swift’s ECU and install a high performance exhaust system. NX16 also sits lower than the standard car, has sporty bumpers with bigger air intakes, sport side skirts and a big rear wing. They also fit with bigger wheels under the car , so it has the presence and the power it needs to challenge other hotted up small hatchbacks at least in Japanese market. But this sorta cars are also very popular in the UK, they should consider selling it there as well.

a Suzuki Swift Monster NX16 costs up to 2835000 Yen which is about 21,000 Euros.
