Question about the SX4 WRC.

[It's JM]

Everyone already knows that Suzuki pulled out of the WRC, but I want to know what happened to the cars. For one, no one bought the ex-works cars, plus there are none floating around the internet for sale and nothing was said about the cars being sent back to Japan to be destroyed. I heard that the cars were locked away after Suzuki pulled out from the championship because the company that helped build and develop the SX4 WRC still owed Suzuki money and that they went to court.


Is any of this true? And can anyone clear this up?

You should know that there is one due to be heading for Barbados if it's not already there (see the thread already started.) Sean was due to drive it in Rally Barbados but it wasnt ready hence him using the MML Lancer WRC.

*In advance, sorry for the late reply*

I doubt that is an ex-works SX4 since I've heard somewhere that the other SX4 WRCs were locked away.

There was an old thread about this, users posted plenty of information there.

Yep, she's hot.

This always happens at airports, you always see one well sexy girl who is working there.

[alleskids]

Sorry to revive such an old thread, but no. This is neither an ex-PG or Toni SX4. This was one fabricated by MML with the engine built by HKS.

Where's the rear wing?

[It's JM]

It was taken off to avoid damage while on board the plane.

Here are some photos of it running:
