The Suzuki GSX-R/4 is a concept car made by Suzuki in 2001. Designed as a showcase for technology, it never meant for production.

It has a mid-mounted, 1.3 L (79 in3) DOHC engine taken from the company's flagship motorcycle, the GSX-1300R Hayabusa with a top speed reaching of 181 mph (291 km/h) at 9800 rpm. It had upscale features for its time, such as GPS navigation. Alongside the GSX-R/4, Suzuki presented the Formula Hayabusa, an open wheel race car concept, also using the 173 bhp (129 kW) motorcycle engine.

Apperances

The GSX-R/4 appears as a playable vehicle in the Gran Turismo series. A 1/64 scale die-cast model was released by Hot Wheels.
