2010 MAZDA3 MPS VIDEO

Mazda Motor Corporation will debut the all-new Mazda 3 MPS at the 2009 Geneva International Motor Show in March extending the Mazda 3 product range.

Details about the upcoming hot-hatch are yet to be released. According to sources, the European “MPS” version will get a turbocharged 2.3-Liter engine while the American version will get the 2.5-Liter engine. Despite the differences, both should produce around 268hp (200kW) . It evolves the driving experience to an entirely new level of quality and pleasure with its emotional design and exhilarating performance.

While other specs for the car are hard to come by, there are rumors that the newly developed RevoKnuckle FWD suspension system from the Ford Focus RS could be used in the Mazda. An AWD set-up has been ruled out.

Differentiating the Mazdaspeed from the regular Mazda3 lineup is a massive hood scoop for the turbo, oversized air-intakes in the front bumper, big sporty alloy wheels, sporty side skirts, a rear diffuser, large-diameter twin-exhaust pipes, and a chunky rear wing.
