快乐王子的前世今生——铃木奥拓Works

The Alto has been Suzuki’s entry model for a long time now. With its low price and running costs it is a popular vehicle still today. Though being an economy car, there have been several performance versions over the years. The most famous and top of the line being the Alto Works.

奥拓（Alto）作为铃木的入门级车型已经很长一段时间了。依靠其低廉的价格和保养费用，它至今依然是一台很受欢迎的车型。虽然是一款经济型汽车，但多年来它已经推出过好几个性能版本，其中最有名的便是Works版本。

It started in 1987, with the first Alto Works released based on the second generation Alto that was sold between 1984 and 1988. It used the same F5A coded 543cc engine as the other Alto grades but the power increased significantly due to the application of DOHC. With an output of 64 horsepower, it was the strongest minicar at the time in Japan. It is rumored that this Alto Works is the reason for the regulation that Kei cars nowadays cannot produce more than 63 horsepower.

1987年第一批Works版本发行，它基于1984年至1988年间销售的第二代奥拓打造。采用了与其他级别奥拓相同的代号为F5A的543cc发动机，但由于双顶置凸轮轴技术的应用，动力得到了显著增加。64匹的马力使它成为当时日本动力最强的小型车。有传言说，这台奥拓Works的存在是导致规定现在的K-Cars不能产生超过63马力的原因。

The three cylinder engine was connected to a 5-speed manual transmission. On the exterior, the Alto Works had a new front bumper with fog light integrated, new side skirts and rear bumper, a hood scoop and rear spoiler. Three grades were available, a base grade called the RS-S, which had front wheel drive. Then there was the RS-X, which had more equipment and still front wheel drive, and finally the RS-R grade which had a viscous coupling full-time four-wheel drive system and the same equipment as the RS-X. The RS-R was around 40 kilograms heavier than the front wheel drive RS-X.

这台三缸发动机配备了一个 5 速手动变速箱。在外观上，Works版拥有一个新的前保险杠并搭配了一对雾灯，新的侧裙和后保险杠，头罩勺和后扰流板。配置一共有三个等级可选，基本款称为RS-S，采用前轮驱动。然后是RS-X，它有更多的配置，但仍然是前轮驱动，最后是RS-R级，配备了一个粘性耦合式全时四轮驱动系统和与RS-X相同的配置。RS-R比前轮驱动的RS-X重了约 40 公斤。

In 1988 the 3rd generation Alto was released and that time also saw an improved Alto Works. The design was changed significantly, with rounded headlights and lower mounted rear spoiler as recognisable design features. The engine was the same as the previous generation but it was now offered in automatic transmission version and a less powerful version called the Turbo i.e. That version had 58 horsepower due to having a SOHC instead of DOHC.

1988年，第三代奥拓发布，同时也发布了换代的Works版本。相比于上一代设计发生了显著变化，圆形大灯和安装位置更低的后扰流板等细节设计都让其更具有辨识度。这一代采用的发动机与上一代相同，但现在提供自动变速版本和一个动力更弱的涡轮增压版本，这个版本只有58匹马力，原因是用单顶置凸轮轴替换了双顶置凸轮轴。

But in early 1990, the 543cc engine of all grades was replaced with a newer, larger 660cc displacement unit. Although the same power, the torque went up. The grade basically stayed the same with the RS-X being the front wheel drive version and the RS-R the four wheel drive version. A Works R version also appeared for one-make races and other motorsports activities.

但在1990年初，所有款型的543cc发动机被一个更新更强大的660cc发动机取代。虽然动力没有多少变化，但是扭矩增加了。三种款型基本保持不变，RS-X是前轮驱动版本，RS-R是四轮驱动版本。另外，还有一个Woks R版本也出现在一些单人比赛和其他赛车活动中。

November 1994 the new Alto generation was introduced and that also saw the continuation of the Alto Works. The body changed slightly but the round headlights remained as a characteristic of the Alto Works. A completely new full aluminium engine was introduced, called the K6A. The SOHC and DOHC variants were both kept, but the grades for the DOHC changed. There was just the RS/Z grade now, which was offered in both front wheel drive only or as four wheel drive. The RS/Z grade could not be had with an automatic transmission.

1994年11月推出了新一代的奥拓，Works版本依旧延续下来。外形略有变化，但圆形大灯仍然是Works版本的标志。这一代使用了全新的全铝发动机，代号为K6A。单顶置凸轮轴和双顶置凸轮轴版本都保留了，但双顶置凸轮轴版本的配置划分发生了变化。现在只有RS/Z级，即前驱或四驱版本。RS/Z级并没有自动变速版本。

The 5th generation Alto was brought to market in 1998. The Alto Works was also available again but while the design was much more modern, technically there did not change so much. The sales also went down significantly with this model and Suzuki tried to boost the sales with a 5-door version which was launched in October 1999. but it did not help so much so the model soon after abolished. For 15 years it was quiet around the Alto Works, until it was resurrected in 2015 again.

第五代奥拓于1998年上市。Works版本也再次可供选择，但虽然外形设计更现代化，但技术上并没有改变这么多。该车型的销量也大幅下降，铃木试图通过1999年10月推出的5门版来提升销量。但并没有多大改观，所以不久后被废除。从那以后15年来，Works版一直杳无音讯，直到2015年再次复活。

The Alto in the meantime had passed a few generations ending up to be already in the 8th generation. The design has become more square over the years and this generation is much more up to date with equipment and safety levels. Also emission regulations have become more strict and thus a more modern engine is being used. The turbocharged K06A still produces the kei-car limited 63 horsepower but has a much improved fuel consumption compared to the older engines.

在此期间，奥拓已经换了好几代，最终已经是第8代了。多年来，外形设计变得更加硬朗，这一代拥有最新的配置和安全水准。此外，排放法规也变得更加严格，因此使用了更现代化的发动机。涡轮增压的K06A发动机仍然输出K-Car规定限制的 63匹马力，但与旧发动机相比油耗表现要优异许多。

Four versions are available; a front wheel drive with manual transmission, one with an automatic transmission and a four-wheel drive with the same manual or automatic transmission. Both the transmissions are 5-speed. The single clutch automatic transmission is called AGS and has the feature to shift manually via paddles behind the steering wheel. The weight difference between the manual transmission and automatic transmission is 10 kilogram only, but the weight difference of the actual vehicle is 20 kilogram. That is because the automatic version comes with additional equipment such as idle stop and hill hold assist. The price for the manual and automatic versions are equal.

一共有四个版本可供选择：手动前驱版，自动前驱版，带相同手动或自动变速箱的四驱版。两个变速箱都是5速。这台单离合器自动变速箱被称为AGS，并且可以通过方向盘后的拨片来进行手动换挡。虽然手动变速箱和自动变速箱的重量差异仅为10公斤，但实际车辆的重量差为20公斤。这是因为自动版本附带了额外的配置，如智能起停系统和坡起辅助。手动版和自动版的价格相等。

For the four-wheel drive version there is an additional price up of 100 000 Yen, around 1000 dollar. Besides the price up, there is also a weight up of 50 kilogram which is significant on vehicle that only weighs around 700 kilogram. The majority is coming from the drivetrain but there is also a more sophisticated rear suspension. While the front wheel version uses a torsion beam, the four-wheel drive has a isolated trailing link rear suspension resulting in a slightly more comfortable ride. The fuel consumption of the four-wheel drive version is nearly the same as the front wheel drive only version.

对于四轮驱动版本，需要加价10万日元，约1000美元。除了价格的增加外，还有50公斤的重量，这对一台重量只有700公斤左右的车来说影响巨大。大多数来自传动系统，但也有更复杂的后悬架的原因。虽然前轮都使用扭力梁，但四驱版本的后轮采用独立多连杆悬架，因此乘坐稍微舒适一些。四轮驱动版本的油耗几乎与前轮驱动版本相同。

The exterior of the Alto Works has some distinguishable features versus other Alto models such as the front with works logo and carbon look garnish. On the side of the vehicle there is a big black sticker with Works written on it and the black 15″ aluminium wheels can spotted as well. In the interior there are special Recaro seats and a leather wrapped steering wheel. At the time of the introduction there were four colors available; white, black silver and red.

与其他版本的奥拓相比，Works版的外观具有一些可区分的特征，比如正面有Works标志和碳钎维外观装饰。在车身的一侧有一个巨大的黑色贴纸上面写着Works字样，在15寸的黑色铝制车轮上也可以发现同样的字样。车内则配置了特制的Recaro座椅和皮革包裹的方向盘。发布时有四种颜色可供选择：白色、黑色、银色和红色。
