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!

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'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 :)

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.
I kind of like the style of it though

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

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.
you guys are doing a great job!! keep the nice reviews coming.... cheers!
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
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 + 🤷
had one years ago ,loved it ...rose tinted glasses etc.
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 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!
That triple chin kicked in yo😂😂😂
I wonder how many people thought Alex was constipated when he passed by, but THEY DONT KNOW THE POOOOOWERR IT HAS!
I had one of these... and that was the only one car I have ever had! I loved it!
Thanks so much for reviewing my dream car the GT3RS
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......
This was great fun to watch. xD I love that 911 GT3 RS!
That's what cars were like in the 80's! My first car was one of these and I bloody LOVED it
Always wanted one of these!!!
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.

The lines are great. This thing is super square yet someway the corners drip off the car. I just like it a bunch.
Such a cool little car. I know this as the Cervo so when I saw Whizzkid I was curious. I had never heard of that name on the car. I'd love to see more kei car reviews!
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
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.
Just put a Suzuki Motorcycle engine in it, then it would really kick some arse #baby911

Understeering into oncoming traffic. Part of the charm.
pleas make more of such videos!
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?
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.
I'm in, I'm down for such an interesting quirky RWD!!! Just loving the RWD feature...
Lovely little car, a real gem.
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!!
great vid guys! can you do one of another JDM unicorn - the Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution?
The interior looks really neat!
Thats one super Clean example!
this little car has more character than every supercar that will be released this year combined
1:58 the No smoking sign in the front window right after he makes a comment about the acceptabillity of smoking in cars xD
I loved mine had it from new but had a gearbox problem but fixed under warranty

This is so funny! I've never heard of this car until now!! I'll talk about this at work hahaha

Id love to have one of those!!!

I wanna drop a rotary into one of these. Seems like a perfect fit for a car of this caliber. Light and powerful
i love it!!! please tell me these were sold in the us
I had one of these for 6 years rescued it from a scrap yard and only had to have 1,000 patches welded in to get it on the road. Only issue if you didn't push the gear stick down enough when selecting reverse it jammed the selector between gears so you had to get out unbolt the plate on to of gearbox and stir about with a big screwdriver to unjam it. Another odd thing when changing the canbelt I noticed the camshaft pulley had 2 marks on it. So thought lets see what the other mark does and it improved performance so why they had these 2 setting I don't know.
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.
you always make me laugh man, you're awesome! :D
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.
Those three Adidas like stripes in the C pillar are now back on the Suzuki Ignis.
