MR Car Design Mazda3 MPS exudes power and attitude. Mazda3 MPS is originally being one of the most powerful series production vehicles with front wheel drive. Here however, we have an aim which successfully has given this vehicle even more strength in horsepower.
The people responsible for that are the specialists from MR Car Design. They have taken this hard task to give the sporting dynamicist even more power. Originally the Mazda is equipped with 2.3 L engine, which includes turbo support.
This means that the vehicle can generate 260 hp (191 kW) and has a maximum torque of 380 Nm (280 lb-ft) at 3,000 r / min. The crew from MR Car Design gave the engine boost in terms of performance via software. Thanks to that the car is able to produce 310 horsepower (228 kW).
Furthermore, a downpipe with or without catalytic converter, and an exhaust system from the downpipe can be mounted optionally. In addition to this another highlight here is the Forge Intercooler, which includes all turbo hoses.
At last, this unique Mazda runs on a set of wheels with Qxigin 14-inch rims in 8,5 x19 and has a KW coilover suspension.
2012 Mazda3 will hit the UK market in the beginning of the next year. The Upgraded Mazda3 has more muscular visual appeal with a new front end design, a revised rear bumper and new twist-spoke alloy wheel designs. Inside, there are new materials and colours, improved ease-of-use for the driver and a quieter cabin for all to enjoy.
Fuel economy across the range is enhanced thanks to the upgraded model’s refined aerodynamics which cut its Cd to just 0.29, and handling is improved, with the upgraded Mazda3 delivering a more consistent and linear driving feel.
New models include two Sport derivatives – 1.6 Sport and Sport Nav Diesel – and new equipment including a gear-shift indicator.
With the Upgraded Mazda3, CO2 emissions are reduced by up to 3.5 percent, depending on model. Consequently, six diesel models in the 2012 line-up are rated at just 115g/km and seven petrol models are rated at 147g/km, while only the automatic and MPS models exceed 175g/km.
“We anticipate that the Upgraded Mazda3 will enable us to increase sales of our C-segment contender during 2012,” said Peter Allibon, Sales Director, Mazda UK.
“The changes to the Upgraded Mazda3 are subtle but every one makes a difference and enhances the generous specification already available.”, he added.
