As originally planned the V6 is postponed indefinitely, Suzuki USA has decided to make a quick blow com ‘not to be forgotten and has entrusted the usual manufacturer’s designated trainer in the USA, Road Race Motorsports apply a recipe that has proved its worth bolting a turbo and a heat exchanger on the engine.

The result, together with the usual adjustments for suspension, brakes and aerodynamic elements discrete amounts to 290 horsepower, a power to bring the 278 horsepower of the Hyundai Sonata Turbo which follows a similar philosophy.
