INFORMATION ON THE SUZUKI ESCUDO !!! This Escudo appears to be the 1996 version (the one found in Gran Turismo 2). The Escudo that appears in Gran Turismo's 3, 4, 5 and 6 is the 1998 version. What's the difference ? The front and sides are pretty much the same, but it's the rear that's the main difference in looks. The 1996 (GT2) Escudo has 2 rear air holes on the back (the Escudo in this video also appears to have the same ones from the game). Other videos on Escudo (when it's red) doesn't have these 2 square dark holes, as the entire rear is opened up, as with the Escudo in Gran Turismo's 3, 4, 5 and 6. Gran Turismo 2 states the car is a Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak Version '96, where's the others Suzuki Escudo Dirt Trial/Pikes Peak '98. The 1996 Escudo is a 2.0 Litre, the 1998 a 2.5 Litre. According to Gran Turismo, both the Escudo's have 981 - 985 HP (this video states the 1996 one has 788 HP though, hmm). Both Escudo's are the same performance wise ! Surely there was a mistake some where here, as 800 PS turns out to be 788 HP, which is the Suzuki Cultus Pikes Peak Versions power. The other mistake is the Japanese man claiming this Escudo is a Twin Engine, but the 1995 Escudo was a Twin Engine. Both 96 and 98 Escudo's are almost 1,000 HP, both are 800 KG in weight, both have 270 km/h restricted top speeds and both Accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 2.5 seconds. In Gran Turismo 6, i tested the Escudo. In Gran Turismo 6, Escudo jumps from Gear 1 to Gear 2 in 1.6 seconds, the Escudo in this video in 1.8 seconds. The game Escudo then gets to Gear 3 in 1.1 seconds, the Escudo in this video, also in 1.1 seconds. The game Escudo then changes to Gear 4 in 1.1 seconds, the one in the video, in 1.2 seconds. The game Escudo then gets to Gear 5 in 1.7 seconds, the Escudo in this video, in 1.2 seconds. From Gear 6 is the big change though. The game Escudo gets to it's final Gear 6 in 2.9 seconds, where's the one in the video, in 1.7 seconds. Overall, it takes the game Escudo 8.4 seconds to final gear from start, and 7 seconds for the real version as seen in the video. The game Escudo takes 2.3 seconds to reach 100 km/h, so maybe perhaps the same or 2.5 seconds for the one in the video ? From @6:01 when it Accelerates, it seems quick. So what speeds was Escudo getting to between @2:18-2:28 in this video ? Let's use the game as an example again ! In Gran Turismo 6, Escudo changes to Gear 2 at 75 km/h, Gear 3 at 110 km/h, Gear 4 at 155 km/h, Gear 5 at 203 km/h and Gear 6 at 256 km/h. Using these, it appears when the Escudo in the video turns to onboard view from 2:18 onwards, it's already doing close to 110 km/h and likely gets to its max speed of 270 km/h before the deceleration begins. From @6:01 in this video, Escudo most likely gets up to 110 km/h before it backs down. Escudo's top speed in Gran Turismo 6 is about 308 km/h (38 over it's actual real speed), so lowering its gear settings can probably make it as the real life version.
Probably Polyphony did the same they did with the Alfa Romeo 155 Touring Car: They made a model of a particular spec racing car but adapted the livery. Despite the GT2 Escudo being modeled after the 1996 V6 2000 Escudo, the livery is the same as the 1998 V6 2500 Escudo.
u do know the suzuki swift or metro is considered one of thebest vehicles of all time right? for its year of release it served its purpose better then anything else on the road
It was too small to have any purpose. So I'm sure it did nothing well. I've owned one. Crappy little car. Converted it to electric when the engine failed.
nah bro, i had a suzuki samurai and it was a fucking beast. my aunt had a grand vitara, it was not as bad ass but it was reliable little suv with 4 wheel drive
Tajima-san is very much a forward-thinker. Alongside his Monster Sport operation he owns a multitude of other businesses centering around research and development; nowadays doing a lot of work in electric car technology. He was among the first in Japan to really work on and experiment with aerodynamics. What he was doing then - 20 years ago - reminds me of what the whole time attack scene is in the midst of right now.
it's kept at a Museum somewhere in Japan, the same car but in red colour, there is a picture of it on google somewhere. I think it will last for a very long time, as it is Tajima's most famous car, and greatest from my opinion.
Monster Sport references the steering issue with the older pikes peak variants on their website under the pikes peak history. I can only assume maybe the first few pikes peak cars were manual steering rack? Monster sport also changes the tire width through out the years as well.
It's wierd that even knowing about this video since more than a decade now, there's not any recent comments, even with the recent release of the OG Escudo on GT7. This video is the best representation of the original car, and only a few seem to know about it.
It is so crazy, that the driver of this 4-wheel fever dream looked so bored, in the van. 😅 I would look like anyone, after 20 cups of coffee and 4 lines of coke. 😂
+BRAINROTTDAVE more like a couple million if were are talking about purchaseing that car off Tajima That he will never Sell Well over 150k if its a Replica
@orkan84 Because WRC has too many regulations. This car is a LOT more powerful than WRC allows, it is larger, has a bigger engine and so forth. Regulations, regulations. A world series for such cars has not been seen since Group B shut down. I hope this was helpful :)
you know, i always thought of making a video of these two drag racing, as Bugatti Veyron will have no chance to compete with it on a Racecourse. In drag race, very close, both can accelerate from 0 - 60mph in 2.5 seconds. Escudo is still better.
a lotus 48 could probably beat it around a track! yes, the 2004 cars were technically the fastest, although the most monstrous would have to be the 1.5 turbo's that chucked out 1500bhp in quali spec :L

@@juanignacioaschura9437 i am sure, GT2 version also states that it is a 1998 car, albeit modeled after this one. Classic PD :)
@@juanignacioaschura9437 Cultus in GT2 is 1995
The only thing Suzuki did not only right, but also astonishingly well. If I ever get to touch it, my life will be fulfilled.
They make a lot of great vehicles and engines. Your just familiar with the "consumer grade" equipment.

Indeed the Samouraï is a beast

LOVE the giant rear diffuser
now i have to buy again my old ps1 and play GT
I wish Gran Turismo 6 had this in Premium with dat sound and dat turbo kick
Wow thats a hell of a sound! :D
brings back memories of GT2!
1:22, all cars should be made sound like this, that right there is just orgasmic...!
massive wheel and giant wing it still so little grip.... it must show what a beast under the bonnet.....
Nasty! Very Nasty! Loved the sound of that V6 Twin Turbo!
I got to meet Mr. Tajima this year. He is a really nice guy.
it's kept at a Museum somewhere in Japan, the same car but in red colour, there is a picture of it on google somewhere. I think it will last for a very long time, as it is Tajima's most famous car, and greatest from my opinion.
Tajima san,you still got it !!! Some fresh donuts for everyone !!!
Its starting to come back with more and more hillclimbs and stuff but it will never be the same as the original group B
We Just found ken blocks gymkhana 4 car i think. It's amazing. The ones they drive this years is also a 1000hp MONSTER.
In Gran Turismo it don`t steer that easily. lol
reduce the downforce and send power 40/60, turn off TCS and that stuff
rear downforce 100% front downforce 0% just for wheelie :)
Monster Sport references the steering issue with the older pikes peak variants on their website under the pikes peak history. I can only assume maybe the first few pikes peak cars were manual steering rack? Monster sport also changes the tire width through out the years as well.
The speed demon of gran turismo 3
Beautiful..
Beautiful monster
That would be a badass gymkhana car
probably the best car ever made

youtube hides Escudo videos from us!
and how it did it in pikes peak, i want to see it in action! great vid , great channel, congrats!
あ、ナレーション古谷さんだ
now thats a proper car. imagine goin round the town in that
WOW AMAZING ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
2:19
numéro 1 du rally
always wanna see this car doing top gears track..
Or Yatabe.
a TRUE BEAST!!
This should have been a modern WRC car
Hard to believe, that this car is only a Little Micro SUV in his „normal“ Form
THE JAPAN BEAST
@MrResidentevilfan23 i honestly wonder what time a 981 hp, 800 kg car will do around the top gear track
i so badly want to see this at goodwood!! where is it kept?
Check out the size of that diffuser.
a unica obra de arte japonesa se tratando de carros!!!!!!
I remember this car just now cuz I was thinking of the gran turismo for ps1.. I love that car in the game.. Lols
Lo recuerdo de haberlo jugado en gran turismo 2 en Playstation one
pilotei essa maquina d+++ nas pistas de granturismo ps1 muito legal
one of the hardest car to drive
crazy kamakaze ....
Handles like a beauty speed like a Demon. Why aren't more cars like this?
It is so crazy, that the driver of this 4-wheel fever dream looked so bored, in the van. 😅 I would look like anyone, after 20 cups of coffee and 4 lines of coke. 😂
That thing changes direction like a fucking RC car!
Just imagine if group-b was not banned, or group-s was in rallying today. We will see amazing machines like this in finland or corsica!
Este piloto é fera!
1:22 when the VT....twin turbos kick in.
verygood
holy shit!! if this car actually competed in the group B of the 90's......... there would be oil spilled... lol
How close is this engine to the H20A? Does it have the same chain-drive cams and oil pump?
1996年スペックのエスクード。【軽さに驚いた。】
重量は817Kg/600PSオーバー/トルクは70Kgf・cm/の2000ccターボエンジン。
大きなウイングで高速域でダウフォースを得た時には車重は1.5〜2倍なるんだろーなあ。トラクションかかる訳だ。
ホイールベースが長いが4WSの採用で旋回性能を確保しているをだろーなあ！
開発途中のマシーンだが田嶋さんだからパイクスピークのゴールが目指せるんだろーなあ！
This is my favorite car
Beatifull car.
yup, i think the brabham bt52's bmw turbo took the crown as most powerful
from the way Escudo handles, it's possible.
F1's with 1500hp ?!... hmm must of been the 80's or 90's, i must check it out.
so much power for a v6
Quale é la prima per te? Italia ha molte belle macchine anche, cosi che un italiano suddetto questo é molto interessante
Gran turismo memories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@TwinTurboRS becuase its a bonkers car
Hey, the car that can't turn on Super Speedway! xD Also fun for smashing into the walls of the course! =)
Does anyone know where the location ?Also if anyone can please translate what Tajima is saying ? Thanks a lot :D
One word, WEAPON!!!
Where can i buy this car ?
+Tobias Holzapfel That 150k burnin a hole in your pocket?
Yes but its my dream car
+BRAINROTTDAVE more like a couple million if were are talking about purchaseing that car off Tajima That he will never Sell Well over 150k if its a Replica
buy yourself a vitara/sidekick v6... Thank me later.
Lol you'll crash yourself with it and yeah it would prolly cost a few millions .
and GT3...and GT4...and now GT5 :D i still have it in GT4 though haha
i saw it in gran trismo 3 and fitted it with a turbo to make it 1760hp and jizzed.
where are the blade things on the sides DDD:
I want it
@orkan84

Esiste veramente,non lo sapevo.
a real monster !!!!!!!!!!!
all-terain fastest car
impresionante
damn that car is fast...
i believe it said 600 but it seems more than that ... OMG :-o
how do i build one !
this is what group B would have looked like if it hadn't been banned
@Immaculite Yeah, probably in your GT4 garage!
I wish I was a guy in the suzuki suit at 3:30... :D
@TwinTurboRS ..................what do you know about it?? i think nothing ajaja
What you say?
Thumbs up if you miss GT series too....
Caio Cesar cost me a few years of my life.
so true :-)
suzuki sport? suzuki insanity!
machine
nihuya sebe
1100hp???
Tajima ＝ MONSTERover 55years old
akira OVAL pretty much
i made my car 'fly' :P
why didn't Top Gear Review this Car??
they need to put it against Bugatti Veyron
Amuro?
And GT5
a lotus 48 could probably beat it around a track! yes, the 2004 cars were technically the fastest, although the most monstrous would have to be the 1.5 turbo's that chucked out 1500bhp in quali spec :L
@orkan84 because of regulations.
en el gran turismo no dobla xD
this thing could probably out-drag a formula one car, you really think a luxury car designed to be quiet would offer any competition under 200mph?
yeah, it doesn't look that bad though.
