With its hood characterized by its design and matte black color, the manufacturer wanted to showcase the sporty performance and the "racing" spirit of this engine. Targeting customers seeking a contemporary, sporty, and sleek design, it will perfectly fit boats with a stealthy profile, like the Iron 707 on which it is offered as part of a package.
Kuro, a new 250 hp engine with a sporty design focused on performance. Targeting customers looking for a sporty design, the main feature of this engine is its matte black "ghost" color widely used in the racing world but still rare among marine engine manufacturers. Named "Kuro," meaning deep black in Japanese, the kanji of the DF250 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 displacement of 4023 cm³, based on the technologies that have earned Suzuki its reputation. It delivers enhanced performance thanks to developments made on the electronic control unit. Its performance range expands from 5700 to 6300 rpm.
Additionally, the front shape of the lower unit casing has been designed inspired by lower units used in powerboat racing to improve water penetration. The location and lines of the water intakes have been studied to improve navigation performance by avoiding cavitation. The lateral asymmetry of the skeg 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 also benefits from Suzuki’s strong technological features, such as offset with its two-stage reduction system to optimize propeller efficiency. This exclusive Suzuki technology with the drive head positioned forward makes the engine compact and especially improves the center of gravity of the boat-engine ensemble. The electronic Suzuki Precision Control (SPC) manages the engine remotely via an electric signal (instead of traditional mechanical control cables) allowing smoother acceleration and deceleration. Lastly, Kuro also includes all other features offered by the manufacturer such as auto-trim, troll mode, and the mobile diagnostic system +.
