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 customers looking for a contemporary, sporty, and sleek design, it will perfectly suit stealthy boats, like 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 searching for a sporty design, the primary feature of this engine is its matte black “ghost” color, popular 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.
A racing-look engine, 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 made Suzuki renowned. It offers enhanced performance thanks to the development done on the electronic control unit. Its performance range is extended from 5700 to 6300 rpm.
Moreover, the front shape of the gearcase housing has been designed inspired by those used in powerboat racing to improve water penetration. The location and lines of the water intakes have been studied to enhance navigation performance by preventing 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 accelerate engine cooling.
This new engine also benefits from Suzuki's key technologies, such as the offset with its 2-stage reduction system to optimize propeller efficiency. This Suzuki-exclusive technology, with the powerhead shifted forward, gives the engine its compact character and, most importantly, improves the boat-engine center of gravity. The Suzuki Precision Control (SPC) electronic steering remotely controls the engine via an electrical signal (instead of traditional mechanical control cables), allowing smoother acceleration and deceleration. Lastly, the Kuro also features all the other functionalities offered by the manufacturer, such as auto-trim, troll mode, and the mobile diagnostic system +.
