2009 Mazdaspeed3
MEET THE WILD CHILD.
Everyone sees the family resemblance. But clearly, this one turned out different. It’s the upstart brother that’ll never settle down. The one that runs with a faster, tougher crowd. The all-new MAZDASPEED3 fights convention at every turn – thanks to a turbocharged and intercooled 2.3 L engine linked to a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission. Advanced, Direct Injection Spark Ignition (DISI) technology delivers 263 horsepower. Making this one of the most amped-up sport compacts anywhere. Of course, a Limited-Slip Differential (LSD) and high-strength forged crankshaft and connecting rods contribute to all that high performance.
Just like the underbody air-management system that reduces lift and stiff sport suspension tuned for 60% roll reduction. A unique hood design made to house the turbo, distinctive front and rear fascias, specially sculpted fenders and a “floating” rear spoiler bring just enough style not to blow its deceivingly low profile. And on the inside, there are high-bolstered sport seats, MAZDASPEED gauges and even an auxiliary jack for your MP3 player. And now that you’ve been introduced, don’t act surprised when things get wild. The all-new MAZDASPEED3. It isn’t for everybody.
