Forbidden Fruit: Turbocharged Suzuki Jimny Drag Races Peugeot 205 GTI

The Suzuki Jimny, a small off-roader beloved by many but unfortunately not available in America, is often considered a forbidden fruit. It shares this status with the iconic Peugeot 205 GTI. In a recent Carwow video, these two legends go head-to-head in a drag race to determine which one is the fastest.

The modified Jimny featured in the race is equipped with a turbocharger, boosting the power of its 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine to 165 horsepower and 143 pound-feet (195 Newton meters) of torque. With an upgraded suspension, though it’s the heaviest contender at 2,336 pounds (1,060 kilograms), the Jimny is ready to take on its rival.

The popular Cyberster electric vehicle was recently introduced by MG, making a splash in the market. The compact coupe is a great addition to the brand’s growing electric car lineup.

The current MG3 model is quite old, with its second generation originally debuting back in 2011.

Therefore, the upcoming next-generation model will bring about a completely new exterior design, at the very least.
