The Yorkshire based company Twisted automotive is actually known for tuned Land Rover Defender. But now a new project based on the Suzuki Jimny has been announced. Twisted will equip the small off-road vehicle with a variety of optical and mechanical upgrades and also refine the cabin. And as far as we know, only in one limited edition. This is the first time in Twisted Automotive's 21-year history that they have performed a complete rebuild of anything other than a Defender. Twisted's Charles Fawcett describes the Jimny as "pure, real small SUV' and mentioned that he 'almost a mini Defender with a similar architecture, powertrain and analog driving experience“Is.
Suzuki Jimny by Twisted
The company recently posted two teaser images showing the conversion, nicknamed "Little Twisted." In both cases, the vehicles are on new alloy wheels with off-road tires and are higher. One has bright yellow paintwork with black stripes and the other is silver with gray details. In addition, the Jimny shows a grille painted in body color, stripes on the side and a roof rack from the off-road specialist Front Runner. Concrete details will probably only be announced later in the year.
According to Twisted, the Jimny with the modifications "Get more responsive handling and better power delivery due to the use of the twisted wheel/tire package and progressive suspension. Next there is an extensive soundproofing and better infotainment with new speakers is also planned. The typical individual twisted interior is also included." The modifications including the changes to the chassis and a performance optimization should all "vulnerability' of the Jimny eradicate. The basis for Twisted's Suzuki Jimny will be the two-seater LCV with a 1,5-liter naturally aspirated engine, 5-speed manual transmission and the AllGrip Pro 4WD system. However, it was also stated that "additional variants for the future are not excluded". This should mean the upcoming Jimny facelift.
Price: just under €57.000
Twisted is already taking reservations for the "limited number of conversions“ contrary to the price before tax probably just under 57.000 € lies. This is of course significantly higher than the entry-level price of the Jimny, but almost cheap compared to a Twisted Defender. As an alternative, the tuner will probably also offer various accessories for Jimny owners who do not want to upgrade the entire vehicle.
