The third Alto Works was built on the fourth-generation Alto (HA11, and HA21 with the K6A engine) introduced in November 1994. The F6A-engined Works continued, joined by the Works RS/Z with Suzuki's new high-performance 658 cc K6A DOHC turbo of 64 PS. Front-wheel drive or full-time four-wheel drive were offered, and the Works was reclassified as a passenger car. A second limited-production Works R for competition arrived in March 1995, and a Works Sports Limited in January 1998.
