Susuki Swift de location au Nurburgring

Voici un texte expliquant et prouvant la robustesse des Susuki Swift en location du Nurburgring. Pour ceux qui sont venus savent de quel bagnole je parles

Two years and 2800 laps later…




I
remember reading somewhere that BMW reckon it only takes 1000 laps of
the Nürburgring with a professional driver to turn a brand-new car into
one only fit for the scrapheap. One lap of the notorious Nordschleife
being equivalent to 200kms of spirited normal road driving.



So
let me introduce the Suzuki Swift Sport known as 'YY' (pron. why-why).
'YY' arrived from the Suzuki dealers in April 2009 with just 150km on
its digital display, and has served as a nurburgring rental car with
Rent4Ring until yesterday. That's a little over two years of able and
willing service. And thanks to Fredy's extensive (some may say a little
too extensive) record keeping, we can share with you just what it takes
to keep a car like this lapping the Nürburgring in Ring Taxi rivalling
laptimes for over 2800 laps...



First off, let's look at what 'YY' achieved during it's 3 season tenure at the Nürburgring Nordschleife:

59000kms on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, or a little over 2800 laps.
Gave
457 different drivers their Nürburgring kicks. Some were fast, some
were slow. Some were nice to the car, a few were frankly awful!
Peak engine speed of 8761rpm (you know who you are!)
Still making 133bhp on the dyno
600 hours of racetrack driving - that's around 25 normal 24-hour races!
180 million engine revolutions
168 thousand gear changes, some were nice, a lot were not!
What did it use, burn or break?

Sorry Greenpeace, but it burnt 8400ltrs of 98RON super plus gas, at an average of 14ltrs/100km or about 20mpg!
It used 55 litres of top-grade fully-synthetic Motul motor oil, and two changes of gearbox oil
27 front brake pads, 10 rears
52 super-sticky Toyo 888 tyres, and one set of four Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres.
One replacement clutch (stock Suzuki)
Three complete brake fluid flushes
One wheel bearing (front left)
One new alternator and one new battery
One set of wipers
Amazingly
the car was never mechanically broken by a driver and was never
crashed, one of the few cars on the whole fleet to escape either mishap.
In fact, it still drives like new... Onboard video from YY with a
customer this summer!

So what next for the 'YY'?

You could
be forgiven for thinking this car must surely be ready for the
scrapheap, as per BMW's guidelines. Nothing could be further from the
truth! The little Swift is as eager and as fun to drive as the first day
it got here! It really is a testament to the Suzuki's stunning build
quality (and also Rent4Ring's servicing and modifications) that the car
is in such great condition. In fact the car has just been bought by a
Rent4Ring customer, who will now enjoy his own Rent4Ring Swift both at
the Nürburgring and other tracks and events around Europe.

Goodbye YY, and see you here again soon!

Yeah la japonaise!!!

Tin elle a ramassé celle là!!!!

Elle ramasse, mais quelle autre bagnole peut prétendre à une telle fiabilité?
Franchement moi je suis tombé sur mon cul quand j'ai l'article!
