The Frankfurt Motor Show between September 13 - 23 is shaping up to be a stellar affair with the news of yet another world premiere.

Japanese manufacturer Suzuki will unveil their 'Batmobile-like' Kizashi concept car at the show along with a newly developed Splash compact and a World Rally Championship (WRC) inspired version of the SX4.

In the motorcycle world, Suzuki is a force to be reckoned with, but until recently, its cars weren’t taken very seriously. Currently, the company is attempting to redefine its place in the automotive hierarchy. The Concept Kizashi 3 unveiled in New York today features striking lines, an all-wheel drive system, a 300 Horsepower engine and some trick paddle shifters. The coolest part? Suzuki is going to build this puppy! While the model below isn’t production sheet metal, this is by far the most conservative of the Kizashi family, so changes should be relatively minor. Will we see a sea-change in America’s perception of Suzuki cars in the near future?
