SEMA Motor Show Preview: Suzuki showing Kizashi-strong lineup
The 2009 SEMA Show in Las Vegas starts next week, and lots of automakers will be in attendance with versions of their production vehicles that take tuning to a whole new level. Suzuki has a new vehicle to show off, the Kizashi mid-size sedan, and will be loading its lineup with four examples that show what you can do with your new Suze after driving it home from the dealer.
The four Kizashis were produced by Road Race Motorsports, Delta Tech Engineering, Westside Auto Group and Import Tuner magazine. Here’s a brief rundown of what each tuner will bring to the table in terms of Kizashi tuning. The Road Race Motorsports Platinum Edition Kizashi (above) is definitely tuned for performance with upgrades to the suspension, braking, intake and exhaust. A number of custom body pieces were also bolted on to make this Kizashi better look the part. The Delta Tech Engineering Kizashi (below, left) is also performance oriented, but with a larger focus on weight reduction and handling. Westside Auto Group, meanwhile, created the Kizashi Soleil (below, middle), which is more than show than go with a custom body kit, custom two-tone paint and large 7-spoke wheels. Suzuki didn’t provide images of the Import Tuner Kizashi and only hinted at what modifications it may contain, so we’ll have to wait for SEMA to check out that one.
Finally, in addition to these four Kizashis, Suzuki will also have a custom Equator pickup by ICON Vehicle Dynamics (above right) that features some engine mods for the truck’s 4.0-liter V6, a beefier suspension that provides more lift and bigger wheel/tire package.
Suzuki is bringing a host of vehicles to the SEMA Show being held in Las Vegas next month. Amongst the cars will be four different Suzuki Kizashi models, and a tuned version of the Equator pickup truck.
One of the versions was crafted by Road Race Motorsport. Their Platinium Edition Kizashi has a black roof, custom graphics, new springs, and sway bars. Also present is the Westside Auto Group’s model, the Kizashi Soleil. It features a two-tone paint job, and new fenders, grille, and fascia.
