- A custom Suzuki SJ413 Jimny with some wild mods is for sale.
- The aggressive bodykit is covered in Lamborghini orange paint.
- Dual Weber 45s and a hot cam lift power from 63 hp to 110hp.
We’ve come across a few crazy modified Suzuki Jimnys, including one which was actually two SUVs joined together and slammed to make a weird pavement-scraping replica of a Hummer H1. But even that didn’t look as angry as this custom SJ.
Looking like its jumped straight out of the pages of Max Power magazine circa 1996, the Suzuki started life as a UK-market SJ413, the same model that introduced the Jimny to the US market under the Samurai name. That’s the same SUV that gained the nickname SJ-Fall-Over after Consumer Reports famously flipped one in a cornering maneuver.

But whoever bought this one as a stock SJ in 1986 would struggle to recognize it now. The orange Lamborghini paint definitely wasn’t available from the factory, and neither was the body kit, which gives the the front end a seriously mean look thanks to long headlight brow that was all the rage in the tuning scene a couple of decades ago.
The tube-frame doors look similar in concept to the doors you get on a modern Ford Bronco, and, like the Bronco, the SJ413 does have some real off-road credentials thanks to its transfer box and ability to switch between low and high ratios. But we bet this Suzuki sounds better, even if it doesn’t make as much power.

An upgrade from the SJ410’s 1.0-liter four to a 1.3 in the SJ413 boosted power to 44 hp (45 PS) to 63 hp (64 PS) in the UK, but this example now makes a stonking 110 hp (112 PS) thanks to some old-school tuning mods. There’s a four-branch manifold, hotter cam, flat-top pistons, and a pair of Weber 45s under the hood, as well as a painted cam cover that doesn’t add anything to the pony count but definitely looks more stylish than a boring plain black one.
This Jimny has obviously been a labor of lover for someone, but it’s an acquired taste now, particularly when it comes with an asking price of £24,500 ($33,300), which is roughly the price of a barely-used 2024 Jimny. You can take a look at the classified listing here.
