Suzuki SEMA Car

I stumbled upon these videos and thought they were interesting.  It looks like they are creating some sort of race car based on the SX4 Sedan.  Should be cool.

Nice.  :)  I have to say, if they had a 200+hp SX4 available on the lot I would be tempted.

Couldn't wait to se IF Suzuki would build a 200 hp sport compact. Bought a 200 hp black Civic Si.  Complements the black Tracker nicely.  Parked side by side in the garage, they are affectionately refered to as The Sand Toy and The Street Toy.  Love my Chevzuki,  but what happened to 'Zuki's great niche vehicles of the 80's & 90's.  The inexpensive un-Jeep (Samurai) or one of the cooler sport compacts ever made: the Swift GTi.  A tall unibody fully-independant suspended AWD Grand Vitara is no substitute for a body-on-frame short-wheelbase 4WD with a real lo range ala the Sami or Trackick; nor is a Aerio/Reno/SX4/rebadged Daewoo an acceptible substitute for a 40 mpg pocket rocket.

I will now relinquish my soapbox.

The Samurai is still made in India and (IIRC) Thailand. Most markets get the Jimny, I thought there was a current Swift GTi but I can only see the 125bhp Sport on the Suzuki UK website.

That SX4 should be good when its finished, keep posting the links please.

They posted part 3.  Looks like the guys at RR had a few problems.  This is kind of exciting.
