Hopefully Mazda will not disappoint and continue the MazdaSpeed versions on the new 2004's. The only thing I have heard is that the Miata is the next to get the MazdaSpeed treatment. Although the Mazda6 is getting a hatchback called the MPS. Apparently it's already on sale overseas.

The Mazda6 hatchback is not the MPS. The hatchback has been on sale since the others, overseas. It will go on sale in the US in February or thereabouts. The MPS6 was only a concept, so far.

I have also not heard anything regarding even a concept MazdaSpeed3, but we shall see

The Mazda6 MPS was a concept, but it will go in production early 2005. MX-5/Miata MPS next? I don't think so. Because the Mazda3 will go in production this winter and a new MX-5 will come in 2005. So I think that a Mazda3 MPS will be finished before a MX-5 MPS excised

MazdaSpeed Miata

This article was from Autoweek...hopefully the link at the bottom will work. If not, just search "MazdaSpeed" on Autoweek.com and it's the first article.


MazdaSpeed Miata to begin production late this year


The next MazdaSpeed-tuned car, the Miata, begins production in December in Japan and arrives in U.S. showrooms soon after that, as early as January. It will carry a Japanese turbocharger underhood.

This is a photoshop I did of a MAZDASPEED 3 sedan. I did it really quickly, so pay no attention to how crappy it is...hehe

 

[InitialDMP5]

here is one I did way back on the mx sportif concept vehicle. I did this way before any pictures of the 3 came out. funny how similar they are. like the grill piece I did. huh, maybe Mazda does listen to us....

 

[Ahura]

But that means the MX-5 MPS/MazdaSpeed will be based on recent MX-5... kinda weird

 

[97protege]

I happen to like both of those "photochop concepts"

 

[schulkw]

If they offered the Spicy Orange on the 3, I would definitely consider it. The PhotoShop looks sick! InitialDMP5, that's pretty good for a quick job.

Me too. The four door looks sweet. Not to bad of a photoshop.

 

[97protege]

I think if I had the money, I'd buy the MS3 even if it had the same power as the MSP, though I'd be slightly disappointed with 170hp. But if I like the looks as much as I do the MSP I wouldn't care.

There was a Mazdaspeed Protege on the DYNO at Nopi. He upgrade his intercooler, blowoff valve, and turned the boost up to 14lbs. of boost. He put down 168hp to the wheels. Not bad.

Nice.

And about the pic, what would be the use of the hood ram-air ?

WOW... that's pretty nice, actually (the car. the pic is pretty good for a quick chop chop)...

That's the kind of look I was looking for in a Mazda 3.

 

[mz6zoomzoom]

That's way too low to ever really be the MPS3.

 

[schulkw]

Still looks nice though.

 

[atl]

Well after we get our hands on it, it will be that low.

 

[dugrant153]

hehehe...
all the MS3 needs now is some vrooooooom...tsssss.....
TURBO!!!!
