The Suzuki Alto started life at the bottom of Suzuki's Kei car lineup back in 1979. By the 3rd generation (1988-1994) its 125 inch length, 54 inch width, and 54 inch height made it similar in size to a pinewood derby car, but the Alto Works version with twin cam turbo power is anything but a gravity powered slowpoke.

Find this 1990 Suzuki Alto RS/R TwinCam !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! offered for $9,999 buy-it-now or make offer, located in Thornhill, Ontario, Canada.

The standard Alto may have its roots in a commercial spec Kei car (inner city food and goods delivery), but the Works version added a turbo engine, all-wheel-drive and an awesome hood snorkus, with offset but complimentary upper valence nostril...and huge gaping open mouth bumper hole. With all those air intakes you'd expect this thing would have a quad turbo W12 under the hood...

Pop the hood and you are greeted with a 660 cc twin cam turbocharged engine that uses 12 valves, which sounds pretty lame until you realize it only has 3 cylinders. Japanese mandated Kei horsepower limits mean that the Works version was rated at 64 horsepower, but a little birdie tells us that it makes significantly more than rated.

Hope you enjoy crashing over curbs with the 14-inch ARE wheels because this thing is right hand drive and will take some getting used to on this continent. The interior looks in good shape, but you would expect that with 49k miles on the odo.

Mighty Car Mods loved theirs. They even got it to drift. And they bought it from "scrapu" for chump change.

I want to be in Japan.

I don't quite know why, but I have developed a fascination with performance oriented kei cars as of late. They just seem like they'd be a ton of fun to toy with and hoon about.

I'm sure there are lots of Kei cars that are faster, but the Alto just wears its scoops and wings so well!

I love the circle of death molded into the door panel.

I have had some too tall things in the map pocket on my door and smashed my finger rolling down the window.
