Now that's my problem too. I like driving a bit of a beater.

They've been selling small engine turbo Jimnys for years in the home market.
Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.

It seems it may be discontinued.
Caterham also used the 660cc Turbo Kei engine in their evolved Lotus 7 160s car 2014 - 2017.
The engine is now longer available from Suzuki, forcing end to production of the 160s.
The last available engines were sold in a small run of retro theme limited edition super-sprint cars.

A shame, knowing the common link between such very different vehicles, it would have been a blast to have both a Jimny and a Caterham 7 .
Maybe in a years time the Caterham 160 will be resurrected with a new Suzuki engine and transmission.

Due to the emissions and the motor volume for the 1.5 engine, the Norwegian tax system makes it too expensive to be competitive in Norway according to rumors from the Norwegian importer.
Norway 2005 Jimny M16A VVT, 235 BFG MT, 2" Trailmaster, ARB rear lck, 17%/87% high/low gears.
