Suzuki SX4t comes with a Mitsubishi 16G GT3 turbocharger

When the Suzuki SX4t first hit the market we did feel that the car had an odd shape however; it did have some great aftermarket potential. Suzuki also realized that there could be more to come from the SX4 which is why they asked Road Race Motorsports for a little help as Suzuki wanted to showcase a SX4 concept at the Chicago Auto Show.

Well it looks as though Road Race Motorsports done a superb job and have given us the SX4t, as you know with this tuner firm they always add their own body-kits as well as upgrading the wheels and brakes, as well as a few engine mods. However; the best thing that Road Race have done is to add a Mitsubishi 16G GT3 turbocharger, the 2.0-liter four-pot engine only used to be able to push out 143 hp but with this turbo fitted the Suzuki SX4t will push out 224 hp, that’s a huge increase.

The result is a 0-60 time of just a little under 7 seconds, that’s in the five-speed manual model. Although Suzuki have only asked Road Race Motorsports to add these features onto this one concept, it seems as if the Japanese automaker have given the tuner their blessing. This could mean that you could take a visit to your local Suzuki dealer and pick up a SX4t. The cost of the new Mitsubishi 16G GT3 turbocharger is $5,400 once it comes on the market this June, however you will then have to pay Suzuki a fee for fitting the device
