Suzuki is known for far more than its automobiles. To that end, the automaker has created a Kizashi that acts as a bridge between its high-performance motorcycles. Called the Kizashi Apex Concept, Suzuki has seriously upped the power flowing from its 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. Thanks to a Garrett turbocharger, air-to-liquid intercooler, electronic boost control and a recalibrated ECU, the Kizashi Apex will pump out an estimated 275 to 300 horsepower. That power will flow through a six-speed manual transmission, and Suzuki says it’s the only tranny that would be offered if the car enters production.

The concept vehicle ties in perfectly with Suzuki’s GSX-R race bikes. Both wear the same livery and both are aggresively styled vehicles. Sure, a production version would have to tone down the crazy a notch. All we ask is that the Suzuki make’s sure to keep the alcantara inserts, 19-inch wheels and size 245 Yokohama rubber if the car winds up on dealer lots.

Scroll down to read Suzuki’s press release about both vehicles and to watch a video of the two cars being revealed live in New York. Be sure to click through our high-res image galleries of both cars, as well.

Road Race Motorsports has given the Suzuki Kizashi not just a boost, but a kick in the pants and elsewhere. Instead of the stock sedan’s 185 horsepower, RRM turbocharged the engine up to 300 hp, adds a sports suspension and sport brakes, along with a choice of bodykits. If 300 ponies is a little more than you’re after, RRM also has a 200-hp package, and the suspension offerings come in Stage 1, 2, and 3.
