new realms of "convenience enjoyment," and "gentleness"
that can only be brought about by Suzuki.

- Presentation Theme for Suzuki Motorcycles "Power
to the Future"
Dreams, and thus the future, that people seek from motorcycles
are varied:the "comfort" of being one with the
flow of the wind; "excitement" that enraptures

one's beloved motorcycle; "convenience" that enriches
daily life; "technology" that presents a powerrul
promise that such dreams can turn into reality.
At Suzuki, we believe it is our role to realize each dream
and usher in an exciting future for motorcycles.
"Power to the Future" - under this theme, Suzuki
booth will present, with sensation and satisfaction, the

Reference Vehicles

- GSX-R/4
The GSX-R/4 is a new-sensation lightweight sports car
developed under the concept "a car can be so much
fun in the 2lst century!" The GSX-R/4's high performance
comes from mounting the 1.3-liter engine from the large
Suzuki motorcycle Hayabusa 1300 onto a lightweight and
highly rigid aluminum frame built using technology nurtured
with Suzuki motorcycles, and covering it with a lightweight
body built of environmentally benign recycled plastic
material. The GSX-R/4 is Suzuki's suggestion for a car
with new 2lst century ideas, bringing together designs
for safety supported by the newest ASV technology and
IT know-hows and the concept of "enjoyment of a car
full of fun factors". Enjoy Suzuki's free and unique
ideas and technology that the GSX-R/4 fully embodies.

- Covie(a name derived from "communication vehicle")
The Covie is our suggestion for a small EV(Electric Vehicle)
that responds to the challenges faced today. As for the
method of electric supply for charging this environmentally
benign EV, Covie uses a household fuel cell generating
system which generates electricity from natural gas supplied
to individual households. At the present stage, the problem
of readiness of automobile fuel cell infrastructure is
not solved yet, and so we believe this system is practical
and highly promising. Covie also fully features information
and communications technology designed to serve as the
information link between car and people and between homes
and household electrical appliances - an arrangement that
should come about in the near future.

- Lapin
Lapin is a concept car reflecting the image of small household
items that are a part of daily life. A home interior that's
suited to one's tastes creates an ambiance of comfort
and familiarity. Why not seek the same coziness in a car?
Lapin, designed with such aim and having ample cabin room
despite its conveniently compact size along with uncompromising
basic performance, is created from Suzuki's foremost expertise
of making compact vehicles.

- MR wagon
This is a wagon featuring a refined "monoform"
styling and a high-grade interior design; a wagon designed
to let the driver and passenger feel fully at home, relaxed
as if in one's own room while on the go. The MR wagon
may look small, but it features a roomy interior and ample
luggage space. This is a wagon born out of Suzuki's desire
to provide convenient compactness, ease of getting on
and otf, plus a fully comfortable interior that welcomes
you and your friends hospitably.
