Custom wheel

The SX4’s structure and standard all-wheel drive can handle additional horsepower, so in partnership with Road Race Motorsports in California, the SX4’s 2.0 litre DOHC four was upfitted with Road Race’s proprietary turbo kit, the chassis was improved with sport springs, and wheels and tyres 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 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 and performance brake pads. An oil filler cap and battery tie-down – in billet – are supplied by Suzuki’s in-house parts group, SWT.
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.
With a subtle approach to visual differentiation on the outside, Suzuki kept the interior similarly low key. Front seats benefit from a custom bolster, and both front and rear seats are recovered, featuring new fabric inserts which continue the exterior’s silver metallic theme. To further accentuate the SX4’s performance intent, the driver’s contact points are enhanced by a sport steering wheel, taken directly from a Suzuki Swift, and SWT’s drilled pedal set.
The Rockford Fosgate audio system features an enhanced amp, speakers and subwoofer. And when not reaching for the audio knob, manual transmission enthusiasts will enjoy the sequential feel provided by Road Race’s billet shift lever controlling the SX4’s five forward gears.
