Whilst the Suzuki SX4 represents a hot hatch based more on balance and fun rather than having a stonking powertrain it has won a place in the hearts and mind of many. Leveraging the natural attraction to the World Rally Championship, Suzuki are releasing a limited edition run of 500 replica SX4 tarted up in the full WRC affair.

The SX4 WRC comes with the full WRC look, exterior highlights include a new body kit, faux carbon fibre highlights, white 16″ (205/60 R 16) rims and the applicable WRC patchwork of decals. The interior has received minor caron fibre accents and a leather gear knob.

Sporting a sticker price of €19,500 in Germany, we’d expect the SX4 WRC to sell although I can’t help feel that Suzuki’s marketing team had more of a say than the engineering department. A little more muscle under the hood would have really made the SX4 WRC a more exciting proposition overall.
