In India, the Baleno RS is going to be most powerful and mechanically advanced hatchback ever offered by the country's largest passenger automaker, Maruti Suzuki . However, the Indian stock version is lighter than its relative European model, so the 'RS' variant is likely to be lighter than its European counterpart as well. So it might end up matching the GT TSI's figure of somewhere around 10 seconds for 0-100kmph.A fast car needs better brakes, and Maruti Suzuki has taken care of it. The Abarth Punto offers pop colour highlights and Abarth's Scorpion decals.Also, the test mules of the Baleno RS were spotted in the 'midnight black pearl' shade, which is not available in the stock Baleno as of now. Maruti might be saving this colour for the RS version of the hatchback.The sportier RS version is most likely to borrow features from the range-topping Alpha variant of the stock Baleno.
