2008 SUZUKI SX4t CROSSOVER CONCEPT
The Vision
Catering to requests from auto enthusiasts, Suzuki is taking the SX4 Crossover's outstanding capability to the next level in performance. The SX4's unit structure and standard all-wheel drive can handle additional horsepower. To that end, the SX4's 2.0 liter DOHC four was upfitted by Road Race Motorsports with Road Race's proprietary turbo kit; the chassis was improved with sport springs and rear sway bar; and wheels and tires grew to 17-inch. Suzuki's J20A engine is equipped with a 16G GT3 Turbo and Tial 38mm wastegate. With seven pounds of boost, the engine's stock 143 class-leading horsepower and 136 lb-ft of torque are upgraded to 221 horsepower and 208 lb-ft of torque. Helping to control this significant upgrade in horsepower are Road Race's GRIP springs, slotted front rotors and performance brake pads. An oil filler cap and battery tie-down – in billet – are supplied by Suzuki's in-house parts group.Less is more
Simplifying some of the exterior lines and removing the roof rack resulted in a sleek, unified appearance. To stay and look cool, Road Race installed its own CarbonTrix carbon fiber hood, and provided the SX4's roof and A, B, C and D pillars with a complimentary dark metallic gray finish. Suzuki's Quicksilver metallic remains the primary color south of the greenhouse, visually meshing with Rota's 17-inch five-spoke rims.
