Suzuki isn’t known for its high performance sports cars but the recent - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER shown at the Frankfurt Auto Show is proof it harbors greater ambitions. With the company competing in the World Rally Championship, management is now suggesting a car that can showcase their involvement and the recently launched AWD SX4 sedan could be the vehicle to do so.
According to a report from Cars Guide, a “SX4 Sport” could form the basis for a performance model derived from the WRC car, with an engine and performance mods to firmly take on the iconic WRX. The WRC car gets a 235kW (320hp) engine and weighs only 1230kg, however, a production model could be in the 160kW (215hp) range along with large diameter brakes, hard sports suspension, and a matching bodykit. The report claims that handling could be tuned by none other than rally champion Nobuhiro Tajima, who could give the car a realistic rally feel.
So far, the SX4 Sport remains a rumor, however, the Suzuki Swift got a sweet handling sport model so it makes sense for Suzuki to continue expanding the range.
