Suzuki Go

Vehicle Overview

the Suzuki Go is buggy/pick-up prototype made by Bertone. In a groundbreaking moment at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1972, Bertone unveiled a visionary design that would set the stage for future automotive innovation – the Suzuki GO. This prototype seamlessly blended the practicality of a pick-up truck with the leisurely allure of a recreational vehicle, foreshadowing a hybrid concept that would captivate the automotive industry for years to come. The Suzuki GO’s design was ahead of its time, boasting a plastic body with barchetta-style aesthetics that exuded a sense of sportiness and modernity. The vehicle’s sleek lines contributed to its linear appearance, creating a harmonious blend of form and function. The prototype’s futuristic design elements hinted at an era where aesthetics and functionality would converge seamlessly in the automotive world. Fast forward to 1998, and the Suzuki GO’s spirit found a new expression in the BMW Pickster. This reimagined version retained the essence of the original concept while infusing it with a more dynamic and sporty character. The marriage of practicality and performance was evident in the Pickster’s design, capturing the imaginations of automotive enthusiasts and critics alike. Underneath the hood of the Suzuki GO and its later iteration, the BMW Pickster, lay a three-cylinder Suzuki motorcycle engine. Ingeniously positioned along the left side, this engine layout not only contributed to the vehicles’ performance but also allowed ample space on the right for a radiator, optimizing cooling efficiency.
