    Exclamation 300hp Mazdaspeed6

    Taken From Edmunds Inside Line:

    Mazda has taken three of its most popular cars — the MX-5, RX-8 and Mazda 6 — and given them the Mazdaspeed treatment. That means they've all been painted in a special Mazda blue, a color which Mazda tells us hasn't been named yet. Engineers also raided high-performance parts bins to fit all three concepts with stiffer Bilstein suspension, uprated four-piston Mazdaspeed brake calipers, and buckets of raunchy aero parts. And by fitting the Mazda 6 with a remapped ECU and larger intercooler, Mazda has upped power to 300 hp. And if the market likes what it sees, Mazda says it will consider sales in both Japan and overseas. On the production-car side, two new stock MPVs also appeared, but without the 245-hp turbocharged 2.3-liter 4WD model, due for release in early February.

    Here is the link to the story and pictures.

    Most of the cars with the newer ms treatment are excellent cars. I 'm not suprised at what the got out of the 6's engine. It's already a quick car to begin with. Also, the 4wd is a new one for mazda. I think that they did a good job and hope that they continue to make improvements to already good cars. The ms techs really know what they're doin'.

    ...I dream of going fast...

    they also made a awd protoge if memory servers me
    Some of the MPV's were awd also

    It's not new just not well known. Mazda has been making awd cars for years. Not many of them made it to the us thou.

    they say that the awd protoges have weak trannys. Shame really I think that it would have made a bad ace solo car.

    which translates to what like 240-250whp. Still more than my 112hp 2.3l
