With its hood characterized by its design and matte black color, the manufacturer wanted to highlight the sporty performance and the "racing" spirit of this engine. Targeting a clientele seeking a contemporary, sporty, and sleek design, it will perfectly suit boats with stealthy lines, such as the Iron 707 on which it is offered as a package version.
Kuro, a new 250 hp engine with a sporty design dedicated to performance.
Aiming at customers looking for a sporty design, the primary asset of this engine is its “ghost” matte black color, widespread in the racing world but still rare among marine engine manufacturers. Named “Kuro,” meaning deep black in Japanese, the DF250 kanji also expresses elegance and refinement in Japanese literature.
With a racing look, the new Suzuki DF250 is a 24-valve V6 with electronic fuel injection and a 4023 cm3 displacement, based on technologies that have made the Suzuki brand renowned. It offers enhanced performance thanks to development carried out on the electronic control unit. Its performance range is extended from 5700 to 6300 rpm.
Additionally, the front shape of the lower unit housing has been designed inspired by units used in powerboat racing to improve water penetration. The location and design of the water intakes have been studied to enhance navigation performance by avoiding cavitation. The lateral asymmetry of the fin provides better steering stability.
Finally, the air intake grille under the hood has been redesigned to increase airflow and speed up engine cooling.
This new engine can also capitalize on the strengths of Suzuki technologies, such as the offset with its two-step reduction system to optimize propeller efficiency. This exclusive Suzuki technology with the shifted drive shaft at the front gives the engine its compact character and, above all, improves the center of gravity of the boat-engine assembly. The Suzuki Precision Control (SPC) electronic control operates the engine remotely via an electrical signal (instead of traditional mechanical control cables), allowing smoother acceleration and deceleration. Finally, the Kuro also benefits from all other features offered by the manufacturer, such as auto-trim, troll mode, and the mobile diagnostic system +.
