When you think of the Nürburgring, and what cars come to mind ? Porsche 911 GT3 ? BMW M5 ? Nissan GT-R ? How about a Suzuki Swift ? Is it really worthy of a Nürburgring edition à la Lexus LFA ? Well no, not really, but hold your horses there a minute, because the Suzuki Swift Sport "Rock am Ring" edition isn't about speeding around the road course. It's about the music, man.Every summer – in case nearby residents weren't annoyed enough by the noise – the Nürburgring plays host to the "Rock am Ring" (Rock at the 'Ring) music festival, and Suzuki is one of the biggest sponsors. So to celebrate the arrival of this year's rock-fest, Suzuki's Deutsch subsidiary has released this special edition.
Instead of semi-slick tyres and strut braces, the Rock am Ring edition Swift gets a Clarion infotainment system with a 6.9-inch color display, 30-gig hard drive, iPod connectivity and upgraded speakers. Oh, and the requisite special badging, of course. This is a pretty little hot hatch. Bring this special edition to Malaysia and it could turn out to be a poor man's MINI.
