Suzuki decided to hop in the fast lane last week at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. After souping up a Kizashi by adding a roll cage, a racing seat and other speed-friendly devices, driver Sam Mitani took the car to a new level. The four-door sedan, known for its sporty look and family reliability, topped off at 203.72 miles an hour. It’s also important to note there was some engine work done to the Kizashi in order to reach this level of speed.

Found near the Utah-Nevada border, the Bonneville Salt Flats is a 30,000 acre natural wonder that attracts tourists and racers round the world over.

Suzuki is known for setting records with their motorcycles, but this is the company’s first attempt to do so with one of their automobiles. The company can now add a land speed record in the blown gas category to their bragging rights. Auto Shippers loves to make things go fast, and is glad to see Suzuki is doing the same.
