Last September, at the Grand Pavois de La Rochelle 2023, Suzuki Marine made its mark by unveiling a major innovation in the world of outboard motors: the KURO.
This 250 hp V6 enginecombining performance and aesthetics, has since attracted a great deal of interest. This engine is now available from Canet Boat Plaisance, Suzuki Marine dealer.
Let's take a look at what makes the KURO a revolution in the boating world.
KURO: An innovative, sporty design
The KURO stands out right from the start for its design! With its deep matt black bonnet, it clearly has a touch of elegance and sportiness rarely seen in the world of boating.
Inspired by cars and motorbikes, this choice of colour and finish is not insignificant. It symbolises power, luxury and innovation, values that are dear to Suzuki Marine. This deep black, or "KURO" in Japaneseis the result of meticulous development aimed at combining aesthetics and performance.
Technical innovation at the heart of the Suzuki KURO
Beyond its looks, the KURO is a concentrate of technology. Based on the 250 AP engine block, this 4-litre V6 with 24 valves and petrol injection is at the cutting edge of technology.
The focus was onimproved air intakeThe rear, side and top air intakes have been redesigned to improve ventilation and engine efficiency.
The engine mapping has also been revised to offer an unrivalled navigation experience. Combined with specific intake camshafts, it provides more responsive acceleration and improved mid-range accelerationIt promises a thrilling ride for fans of speed and manoeuvrability.
Improved installation & more precise steering
Le KURO incorporates a number of key innovations, including the baseplate, redesigned to improve air intake and water intakeThis means they can be installed higher up on fast boats.
What's more, the engine fin has an asymmetry designed to counteract the engine torquefor more precise steering and smoother sailing.
