Suzuki has announced plans to display several new production and concept models at the 62nd Frankfurt Motor Show.

Suzuki Project Splash

Suzuki's Splash is a production-confirmed compact passenger car which will go on sale in Europe in 2008 powered by a 1.0 litre 3-cylinder, a 1.2L 4-cylinder, or a 1.3 litre direct-injection diesel engine. Suzuki promises that the Splash fits in with the lifestyles of their active and adventurous consumers, offering an exciting color scheme and fun-to-drive characteristics wrapped up in a fresh new design.

Splash will be displayed alongside the Kizashi concept car which will give showgoers a look at the company's future direction as they pursue a world-design strategy. Suzuki is perhaps best known for two extremes- compact cars and full-out four wheel drives, but the Kizashi is a full-sized passenger car which displays strength and flexibility as a status symbol which "never fails to stir the spirit".

SX4 World Rally Championship

The SX4 World Rally Championship (WRC) car will be in attendance. The SX4 WRC will compete in the 2008 season, and will be tested this fall in the Rallye de France to get ready for the big job.

The Frankfurt Motor Show runs September 11th-23rd.
