Suzuki SX4 WRC

The Suzuki SX4 WRC is a World Rally Car built by Suzuki for the Suzuki World Rally Team in the World Rally Championship, based on the Suzuki SX4 road car. At the 2007 Geneva Motor Show Suzuki announced its entry into the championship with a factory backed team, using the all-wheel drive SX4 WRC with the J20 engine producing 320 PS and 590 N.m of torque. Because of calendar changes it officially debuted in 2008, using 2007 as development time, and it competed on a test basis in the 2007 Rallye de France and Rally GB. In the first event of 2008, the Rallye Monte Carlo, Per-Gunnar Andersson finished eighth. A separate car, the Suzuki SX4 Hill Climb Special, won the Pikes Peak hill climb with a twin turbocharged 3.1 litre V6 making 910 hp.
