SUZUKI HINT AT WRC ROAD CAR

A Suzuki car that's as exciting as their motorbikes?

Road version takes cues from this

Suzuki. Famous for absolute nutter motorbikes, the Escudo Pikes Peak and er....the Wagon- R.

However the Japanese manufacturer has already unveiled plans to campaign a WRC version of their SX4 powered by a 320bhp engine and with four wheel drive. Suzuki insiders claim it will be a genuine competitor to the new Subaru Impreza WRC.

Now we hear a rumour that a road going version may follow with power 'in the region of' 215bhp as well as four wheel drive, big brakes, WRC inspired body kit and sports suspension.

The SX4 as we know it

With the challenging looks of the latest Subaru dividing opinion, could Suzuki be looking to sweep up drivers looking to upgrade from older Imprezas?
