  • BBR Mazda 3 2.2 Diesel – 243HP and 529Nm

    BBR Mazda 3 2.2 Diesel

    BBR has presented their extensive tuning program for Mazda 3/5/6 and CX7 models. The tuning copmany has developed its own range of StarChip ECU remaps and mechanical enhancements for the Mazda diesel range of vehicles using its brand new, state of the art 4WD chassis dynomometer which ensures an even higher level of reliable, repeatable, economy friendly performance.
    BBR Phase 1 includes an ECU re-map boosting the 2.2 liter diesel to 220HP (162 kW) and 510Nm (378 lb-ft) of torque. This is an increase of 38HP (28 kW) and (68 lb-ft). BBR’s StarChip ECU remap software has been calibrated to deliver an extremely linear throttle pedal / turbo boost map, resulting in a considerably smoother driving experience compared to the factory ECU settings.
    It is worth noting that BBR achieves similar gains on the lower powered Mazda 121/143 HP 2.0-litre turbodiesel variants, while customers with 150 HP 2.2-litre Mazda models can exceed the factory 185 HP power output using the BBR Phase One conversion. Dyno testing has proven impressive peak figures of 192HP (141 kW) and 446Nm (330 lb.ft) of torque on this lower powered variant.
    £499.00 – Fitted and custom mapped on BBR’s in-house chassis dynomometer
    £599.00 – DIY Including EcuTek ProEcu programming kit (a £150 option when installed at BBR)

    BBR Phase 2 boosts the 2.2 litre diesel to 243HP (179 kW) and 529Nm (392 lb-ft) of torque. The result is thanks to a new ‘hybrid’ turbocharger with modified internals for additional gasflow potential, plus includes a high flowing panel air filter with additional ECU remapping to suit.

  • 2014 Mazda 6 – First Image

    Mazda Motor Company has released first picture of the all-new 2014 Mazda6. The highly- anticipated car will make its official debut at the next month’s Moscow International Automobile Salon. It will come with SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY, the brand’s proprietary engineering focus on developing fuel-efficient, performance-oriented vehicles as a result of lightweight and redesigned engine, transmission, chassis and body structures.

    The sedan will be powered by a SKYACTIV-G 2.0-liter gasoline engine mated to a SKYACTIV-Drive 6-speed automatic transmission.  The vehicle also will feature “i-ELOOP,” the world’s first capacitor-based regenerative braking system.

    In normal driving conditions, which involve frequent acceleration and braking, i-ELOOP, a name derived from “Intelligent Energy Loop,” will improve fuel economy by up to 10%.

    The complete lineup of 2014 Mazda6 vehicles will make their global debut in late September at the 2012 Paris Motor Show.

    Stay tuned for more information and price lists!

  • 2008 J.D. Power Study Confirms Mazda Owners some of Germany’s Happiest

    Mazda is one of Europe’s fastest-growing car brands and a key to this success is the high quality and reliability of Mazda vehicles, combined with superior service.
