The Suzuki Whizzkid is exactly like a Porsche 911 GT3 RS, except way cooler and a LOT less powerful. I think you’ll all love it as much as I do!

i think the horn has more horsepower than the engine
TV scout lol
Sounds better than my BRZ horn.
my friend: 'hey what's under the hood'
me: 'a tire'
my friend: 'what?'
That's the boot.
yeah its an engine under the hood
I own a cayman so yeahh I got nothing under the hood
PiCÓ miss the joke much?
"What's that under the hood"?
"My head".
Which 911 is the best 911:
My 911 is the best 911 because whizzkid.
RCR is the best
Bush did 9/11
+Gone2Crazy steel beams can't melt jet fuel. :)
+Angel Gutierrez no dur
+Joan Nunez
Which 911 is the best 911:
FINK, ALL HAIL FINK
I've had one of these for years... Just finished putting a cappuccino F6a 3cyl turbo in the back and some wider wheels, scary little bugger now :)
Would love to see a video of that angry little puppy!
@@trissybabes have a look at my channel...
You've got some serious talent, I just watched a seven minute video on a Suzuki. I don't know whether to be pissed off or impressed lol
I kind of like the style of it though
To be honest the look of this car is amazing. I love the compact, perfect proportions, the blocky dashboard, the cute little engine and everything.
If a carmaker tried to make cars in this style but with modern engines and better safety I would be all over it.
this has become the new top gear and im loving it!!
+Tom Forrest Cheers Tom :)
+Alex Kersten keep them videos coming. Great work yet again.
but this new "top gear" won't destroy any caravan ....
You never know lol
"It's got a steering wheel, that's good"
Still better than a Prius!
That is one of the coolest cars I've ever seen.
one crazy guy, has one full carbonfiber
Agreed I love it!
I own one of these in blue, it looks pretty spectacular (mine has a custom interior based on the original with blue suede and vinyl and louvres on the rear window and stuff) we added bigger wheels and some really good tires to it and it corners pretty well now, I wouldn't even say it's super slow with 50bhp, the thing only weighs 650 kilos, so it gets off the line pretty fast, it's really a blast to drive
I’m actually seeing one tomorrow. Need advice dude
@@seanpirrie5748 engine is usually bulletproof, but especially look for rust on the floor in the footwells/rear quarter panels. Also make sure it shifts well and that it has the spare wheel (without it it doesnt handle well lol)
This is fucking phenomenal!
Cigarette lighter and no smoking sticker on the windshield, fuckin hypocrisy
absolute madmen
+ADIGA!|Cheezo So he should have removed the cigarette lighter?
goose gog he should have added an ashtray
Why do I always see Alex tensing in every video/image?
+Bond Because I tense in every video/image ;)
Why do i see you in every vid that i watch
+Bond Cause he's a knob
+Bond cos hes a fucking gym brah
+QuiGon Jim I smell jealousy. :)
Fun fact: it's designed by GIUGIARO. And you can see it too, looks cool.
I was wondering how come this car has so much personality for an 80s Japanese car !
I own a non rusted mx5, I'm not in the UK though, probably karma for driving on the wrong side
Bart Van Riel well I used to own a rusted mx5, and I fully blame that on living in Canada lol.
hussguy1990 yeah that's understandable I live in the Netherlands and there hasn't been a need for salt on the roads for a few years and I hope this winter won't be any different
Bart Van Riel that sounds wonderful, they almost have a quota here I've seen literally 20 pound piles on a snow free street..... but I drive a mini Cooper s now I hope it doesn't rust out lol.
hussguy1990 good luck with that
Bart Van Riel thanks.
My wife had one of these back in the 90's and misses it so much she gets tearie eyed every time we see the one that lives locally to us.
This car in Japan had been sold under the name Cervo.
I am very pleased to be able to see the Cervo which is maintained very beautifully in the 21st century.
There are still many in Japan. strangely only one Japanese video is found when I search "Suzuki cervo" despite there being many videos about it, and one has more views than this one, 500K + 🤷
Reminds me of the Fiat 126
+Mehow DF dokładnie
+Mehow DF Check Out MY fiat 126 Video on Channel I need feedback! 'Fiat 126 test shots'
+Mehow DF This calls for a drag race and track day with those two !
yeah me too the fiat polski?
This would leave the 126 for dead 😂 bigger 4 cylinder engine!
Just put a Suzuki Motorcycle engine in it, then it would really kick some arse #baby911
nah fuck that stuff a chevy 350 ram jet in it
that one guy I doubt it would fit
+Howard B well get a sawzall and make room
Put a 2jz in it XD
that one guy that would be a sin! They're so rare!
I wonder how many people thought Alex was constipated when he passed by, but THEY DONT KNOW THE POOOOOWERR IT HAS!
I remember having lifts to work in one of these in my first job. Great fun, it had lots of character. Wringing every last horsepower out of the engine was great fun, it was a willing and buzzy unit. Everything is so dinky and delicate on them. Love it!
Turbocharge that 970CC engine, fit it with some wider wheels, suspension reinforcements and a rollcage.
+Jaafar Farhan And once you've finished mopping up the pieces, you can put a dirt bike engine in its place.
just swap in a hayabusa engine
I think those things have all already been done.
The Japanese already been there done that 😂 there are a few videos about them on youtube, but they are all in Japanese 😩
The lines are great. This thing is super square yet someway the corners drip off the car. I just like it a bunch.
A friend of mine used to have one, many years ago.. i remember how fun it was, although very old and with rusty holes on the floor (you could see the road underneath). I could barely fit in there, and generally it felt so insecure, but when we got it in random empty fields just to drift it, it was like being in a huge RC toy. Really fun
That triple chin kicked in yo😂😂😂
That's what cars were like in the 80's!
My first car was one of these and I bloody LOVED it
this little car has more character than every supercar that will be released this year combined
I live in New Zealand where 40 of these great little cars were imported to, and OWN a "Full Spec" CX-G which is NUMBER 27 off the production line. Unlike England, Australia, Iceland and The Netherlands, the 40 cars imported into New Zealand were the same as the JDM cars, and as such, retained the same frontal treatment. Instead of Square Headlights and the indicators mounted in the grill, the New Zealand cars had round headlights, the indicators wee mounted under the front bumper, and where the indicators were mounted in the Wizz Kid, there were a set of spot/driving lights. The car I own also differs in the interior trim, as, being a "Cross-Over" car, it has Tombstone style front seats, trimmed in a red and black hounds tooth design, and where you sit is made of cloth rather than Vynle? As these cars were prone to rust, and not designed to last any great length of time, and given the low production number on my car, it's Highly Possible that I own the earliest surviving example anywhere worldwide? The car is in completely original, un restored condition, with a Genuine 72,000 kilometers on it. I drive it most days, and it always puts a smile on my face. As to it's value, who knows?
Understeering into oncoming traffic. Part of the charm.
i want that car. I'll make it the most unboring car in the world. it's already practically a 911. just give it a turbo flat 6 and boom. you have yourself a sleeper.
My mum had one of these in her 20's. She told me once while driving it in the pouring rain another driver pulls out of junction without looking, she slams on the brakes, all wheels look up, car spins a whole 360! Simply selects first and carries on. What a machine!!
Hello guys
+Marko Kap Good evening Marko.
Car Throttle omg car throttle I love your channel and also VTEC kicked in yo
+Nathan Condevillamar VTEC KICKED IN YO!!
Thats what i said
+Nathan Condevillamar VTEC KICKED IN YO!!
I LOVE cars like that. It's why I own a Chevette. They're more alive - you drive it rather than it drives you.
Hey! next time test the Fiat 126 !! you'll love it!
1:58 the No smoking sign in the front window right after he makes a comment about the acceptabillity of smoking in cars xD
alex is so lucky to get to drive these unicorns. >< Jelly activated.
That double chin comes in hand for 'speed reenactment' 😋
Sorry.
Probably one of the coolest cars you've had on here. I love 'different' cars.
Stephen Butler *Riced
Christopher McDonell the opppersite to riced lol
Of all the cars he has ever tested, I think this one suits him the best! :-D
Ahhhh my neck! WARN ME NEXT TIME MATE, WARN ME
+rasvial Dat 2G1C knowledge ;)
+Alex Kersten m8, race me in Forza
I had the model before this one the fronte LC10W, as my first car, it had a 3 cylinder 2 stroke 356cc (!) Engine in it, great fun to drive , an so low to the ground you felt like you were speeding everywhere.... I got 4 teenagers , incl driver in it and did a trip on the open road 100kph , did it, but only just......
had one years ago ,loved it ...rose tinted glasses etc.
please tune this car ! PLEASE!!! :)
Martin Buchczyk YESSSSS
I live in New Zealand, and two weeks ago, I bought an Immaculate 63,000ks (39,000 Mile) example of one of these cars. It's slightly different in the front body trim, with Round Headlights, and Spotlights where the Indicators are in the front of this car, but mechanically it's identical. Contrary to what the road tester says here, it handles remarkably well, in that it can be chucked into a corner, where it hangs on like it's on rails. The most I have gotten mine to do is lift the inside rear wheel, but other than that. it's great fun, in an under powered light weight small car can be. To hear the prices they are fetching excites me, as I paid the equivilent of around two and a half thousand pounds for mine, and it's in amazing order for a 39 year old motor car. Putting a Hayabusa motor in it has crossed my mind, but it's to nice and to rare to butcher it in such a way.
- So Much Power!!!
- With the 1 side view mirror for the weight reduction and aerodynamism for the Power!!!
- It's a GX because it's an Xtreme GT!!! Like a 911 B)
0:44 When you hit VTEC for the first time.
I really like this car, the styling is amazing
Giorgetto Giugiaro 😉
"Let's check out the radio, oh no put that back..." *explosion of white noise*
the first time ive ever liked a car throttle video very funny well done
Lovely little car, a real gem.
This was great fun to watch. xD I love that 911 GT3 RS!
just found a life goal, getting one of those then engine swap, turbo, wheels, coilovers, roll bar, small spoiler and voila perfection :D
I had one of these... and that was the only one car I have ever had! I loved it!
I wanna drop a rotary into one of these. Seems like a perfect fit for a car of this caliber. Light and powerful
My friend has one on his driveway. It needs some serious TLC.
I've got a 1982 Chrysler Lebaron convertible with the N/A Mitsubishi 4g54 2.6L engine. It's so slow but it's still fun to drive.
This might be my favourite review of Alex ever.
That thing genuinely is really frikking cool.
There's one in the Netherlands with a Hayabusa engine, it's called a SC100 here,
LOL! Absolutely hilarious! "Hangs out the back end like a 911." So funny!!!
my geo metro /Suzuki swift had same 12 on it I put 14 inch 60's on made huge difference I have a 1.2 liter Suzuki now but its 100 hp and weights 400 lbs
Imagine stancing this car with some crazy fat rim and 200hp+ in the back. JDM POWER!
Those three Adidas like stripes in the C pillar are now back on the Suzuki Ignis.
I had one of these and it was the most fun i have ever had in a car !!!.seriously i used to go everywhere in it.
In the snow it was the only car i have ever owned that overtakes Landrovers when they are stuck in knee high snow.I drove it up to Scothland non stop 300 miles and on the way back coming down a hill in the Shap it topped out at nearly 100 mph.i loved this car until one day it wouldn't stop at a cross road and i hit another car.it was written off and then repaired but still had a ripple in the roof from the impact.oh cars in those days were so much fun.it didn't kill me though.and yes i am still alive.
Alex could be the perfect top gear host, his humor is mint
I actually like this little car
"Smoking in cars is acceptable these days" on the front windows there's a no smoking sticker :D
it's so cute though. imagine driving and parking easily in rural japan with narrow streets. fantastic for it.
Had one as my first car in 1986 great fun, was a squeeze with 4 people in it lol
Is it just me that likes really old boring cars?
calum anderson nah but this isn’t boring at all
i like this dud, he just talk funny stuff and the way he comment about cars is so funny i was laughing the whole time in this episode
0:43 Finally, Alex being himself.
In the US, the Toyota Corona was one of the first warning signs that middle-of-the-road cars were going to be changing in a big way. I guess this was the first warning sign in the UK that the odd, tiny sports cars the UK was known for were going to be getting some capable competition.
They certainly weren't no competition in terms of performance 😅 even the 970cc version was not much better
Some peoples car is more filthy a week from new. This one, immaculate
you'll get squashed like a bug if you get in any kind of accident in that thing, a very comforting feeling when going over the highway i assume.
alex turned into voldemort during acceleration😂😂😂
cool...........I remember my aunt had a RWD tercel in the Caribbean. She drove that car at 100% all the time on bald tires. My fist experience in a drifting drive along.
The one mirror is because it was in these times only a drivers side mirror was mandatory. A mirror on the passengers side was luxury. 😃
also the interior looks great... very industrial design with a touch of fabric...
gixxer engine in that and we good to go
Had 3 of these back in the early 90's, great fun, one ate rear driveshafts for some reason, did good handbrake turns,
One was that rusty brown colour & we called it the "crabber" because it crabbed (wheels not in alignment) were going rusty back then though.
Bloody excellent cars though.
Looks like a neat little car I've never heard of... Id LOVE to see one hopped up and done right. Even if its not a screamer (or even a real performer by any standard) its cool looking and unique (maybe? We certainly never got them in the USDM). What a cool little car.
the interior is cool in its own way
There is one of these rotting on a drive in Manchester. Always thought about leaving a note but never did. Now I wish I had.
despite its technical limitations, this car looks rather good
It was styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro 😉
7 minutes of better acting than in all of the F&F movies....
Thanks so much for reviewing my dream car the GT3RS
The back looks just as the new Ignis!
in India we have Tata nano which is a rear engined and rear wheel drive 625cc and hits 60 in 27seconds
Try a Daewoo Tico. 4 doors and fwd. Loads of fun with that car. Dirt cheap, easy to repair and a lot for sale.
I'm in, I'm down for such an interesting quirky RWD!!! Just loving the RWD feature...
I remember this one. It was cheap and very well received by the automotive press at the time. It rusted like hell, but I really liked it. Standard MW radio for no money. Gauges, rpm counter, rear engine, wow. Cheap! And Japanese (so reliable). Don't crash it, because you will die. And don't go into modern day towns because of exhaust emissions. And oh, 12 inch tyres, good luck finding them.
The interior looks really neat!
I KEPT PAUSING AT THE BEGINNING AND HIS FACES KILLED ME
I had a bright yellow whizzkid in the 90s it cost me £300..... loved it! 🤣😋😎😄
Might be fun to rally with some performance upgrades.
This car is really really neat
I dropped a Chevy big block in my whizzkid and turbo charged it. Also got some sweet suspension and brakes. Lifted it and put rally tires and lights on it.
Sounds great
And then you woke up from your sedation after undergoing the brain surgery that you obviously required.
nice little car shoot I won't mind owning it
