Suzuki Alto

The Suzuki Alto was introduced in 1979 and has since been built in many countries worldwide. The first model (SS40) was a 3-door version of the 4-door Fronte. It had a 543-cc 3-cylinder engine producing 28 hp (21 kW). A 3-door coupe (Cervo) and a 2-door pick-up (MightyBoy) were also available.

The 2nd-generation Alto (CA71/72) was introduced in 1984. It had the same engine, but was also available with turbocharged and multi-valve engines. A 5-door body became available in 1985. A Cervo on the SS71 base was introduced in 1988, with a new 547-cc engine.

The 3rd-generation Alto (CL11/21/22) was introduced in 1988. It had angular styling, with an unusual glazed C-pillar on the 5-door. Initially it used the SS71 Cervo’s engine, but when the kei-car standards were changed in 1990 this was increased to 657 cc. A version with sliding doors, the Slide Slim, intended to make it easier to enter and exit in tight spaces was also available. Suzuki also produced a version (the Hustle) with a high roof behind the front seats, which was unusual in that it used a modification of the Alto’s body rather than a completely new body.

The 4th-generation Alto (HA11) appeared in 1994. The 657-cc engines were joined by a new high-performance 658-cc. The styling displayed an interesting blend of features: the tailgate and rear doors are still fairly angular, but the front was more rounded – a trend which would be continued in later years.

The 5th-generation Alto (HA12/22) was introduced in 1998. The styling was generally more rounded.The 658-cc engine was produced in a version without a turbocharger, joining the turbocharged version and the 657-cc engines. Several derivatives were produced from this generation.

All-new Jaguar F-Type Coupe & R



5-liter supercharged V8 engine and will reach 60 mph in 4.0 seconds, and a top speed of 186 mph (electronically limited)2. The F-TYPE S Coupe and F-TYPE Coupe are powered by 3-liter supercharged V6 engines in 380hp and 340hp forms respectively, giving 0-60 mph in 4.8/5.1 seconds and top speeds of 171/161 mph2.

The F-TYPE Coupe visual message is defined by three key ‘heart lines’, that visual message beginning with the formidable grille. It is from the twin ‘shark gill’ openings that sit either side of the grille that the essential first heart line – which mirrors the design of the F-TYPE Convertible – flows and begins to take shape. Running up through the headlamp, and accentuated by the LED ‘J blade’ signature running lamps, the line then arcs up over the front wheel arch before dropping elegantly as it runs through the door, washing out into the muscular rear haunch.

The second heart line begins at the rear edge of the door, swelling outwards and upwards to create a visually strong wheel arch, emphasizing the car’s rear-wheel drive layout, before dropping vertically through the tail lamp ...
