In this episode of carwow, we delve into the world of modified off-roaders with the Twisted Suzuki Jimny. Now, this little beast has been given the AMG G63 treatment, but at a price that will make your wallet weep. Coming in at a whopping £60,000, this modified Jimny better be worth every penny.
First up, let's talk about the upgrades. Twisted has fitted a turbocharger to the 1.5L petrol engine, boosting the horsepower from a measly 101 to a more respectable 165. That's a significant increase in power, my friends. And it's not just about the numbers, the Jimny has also received some visual enhancements. Decals, a painted front grill, chunky BF Goodrich all-terrain tires, and 16-inch alloy wheels give this little off-roader a mean and rugged look. But it's not all about appearances, the suspension has been lifted by 2 inches, and there are new springs, billstein dampers, and an anti-roll bar to improve the handling.
Inside the cabin, Twisted has gone all out with the luxury. The dash is adorned with fine feeling leather, giving it a genuine G-Wagon vibe. And let's not forget the Alcantara headlining, adding a touch of class. However, there are a few minor flaws, such as wonky stitching and a big leather bag covering the gear gator. But overall, the interior upgrades do elevate the Jimny to a whole new level.
Now, let's get down to business and see how this modified Jimny performs on the road. The standard Jimny is slow, noisy, and has a tendency to wander around corners. But with the Twisted upgrades, it's a whole different story. The turbocharged engine delivers a punchy performance, and the car corners flatter, thanks to the suspension modifications. However, there is a tradeoff, as the firmer suspension does make the ride less comfortable. But let's face it, you don't buy a modified Jimny for comfort, you buy it for the thrill of the drive.
So, is the Twisted Suzuki Jimny worth the hefty price tag? Well, for most people, the answer would be a resounding no. Sixty thousand pounds for a Jimny is a tough pill to swallow. But if you're someone who craves uniqueness and wants a Jimny that's a cut above the rest, then this modified version might just be worth considering. It offers more power, better handling, and a more enjoyable driving experience on the road. Just be prepared to dig deep into your pockets.
