2010 Suzuki Concept Turbo Kizashi - Front Side Picture
Following its impressive performance preview at last fall’s Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas, Suzuki’s 2010 Kizashi continues with the debut of Kizashi’s concept turbocharged variant. In production form, the all-new Kizashi delivers a premium package and experience without the premium price tag, more appropriate to the near-luxury sport sedan segment.
The performance experts at Road Race Motorsports build on those performance attributes and near-luxury features with a host of mods designed to heighten the excitement factor while lowering the Kizashi’s lap times on any closed-course venue. Road Race Motorsports began the Suzuki turbo project with a pre-production Kizashi GTS.

Boost is supplied to the stock heads and block by a 16G turbocharger, while temp is kept in check with Road Race Motorsports’ own high flow intercooler. Other adds on the hardware menu include custom fuel management, Road Race’s Sleeper blow-off valve, Velocity air intake and Extreme spray injector. The equal length turbo manifold is custom crafted, while the 38mm wastegate is supplied by Tial.
The enhanced power bumps, the Turbo Kizashi Concept’s 290 hp engine is connected to the track pavement via 19-inch Dunlops. Those are kept connected to the course by Road Race’s own sport springs, working in combination with Kizashi’s ultra-rigid unibody and all-independent suspension. High-speed stability is enhanced with the addition of a rear-mounted spoiler supplied by Delta Tech Engineering.
