Let’s get acquainted with the new Mazda3 MPS. This car can quickly and comfortably drain to your destination, while developing speed, unless of course the road allows, up to 250 km/h. Although this is not the limit for her, but the restriction established by electronics. The car is quite a lot of weight, less than 1400 kg, and a gasoline engine with turbocharged, the volume of which is 2, 3 liters drives it. Thanks to this power unit, the car is able to accelerate to 100 km/h for some 6, 1 second. And having reached maximum speed, he feels rather confidently, firmly, standing on his four wheels.
The muse for creating the first MPS is rightfully considered the American Mazda Speed Protege car, which was released in 2001. Six years after that, Mazda3 MPS appeared — the first, which gave the popularity of the «hot» Mazda. And already in 2009, the MAZDA3 of the second generation MAZDA3 appeared. This car is mainly focused on Japan and the USA, only every fifth car from the released enters the European market. In general, the new MPS occupies 1, 8% of the European market, but in Russian it is 3, 5%. These indicators put the Japanese brand in 13th place in the Russian sales rating. In general, speaking, Mazda 3 MPS can be called an engineering car. During its creation, the engineers of Japan and Europe carefully studied every part of the car and “hid” it as soon as possible under the speed. The car changed the stiffness of the springs on the front suspension racks, and the rear suspension used a multi -link. In addition, special shock absorbers, compression stroke, which has increased resistance were installed — this reduces the roll of the car in corners. Mazda3 MPS installed special wide 18-inch tires developed by the Dunlop concern, which have more rigid sidewalls and greater damping ability. The width of their profile varies from 215 mm to 225. In addition, the developers increased the distance between the front wheels of the car, which gave him even greater stability at high speeds. And the MPS wheels were equipped with brake discs, the diameter of which is increased and is 320 mm for front wheels and 280 mm for the rear. From Japanese designers it became known that now in the first three gears a traction restriction has been established, which prevents the excessive skidding of the car. And specifically for the «blondes», the car has special sensors with a system for assistance in parking lots. There is a cruise control, and the “eyes” are bixenon headlights that can highlight turns. All this did not deprive the new Mazda 3 of her driver qualities. But she remains the same by the irrational. Its main goal is the speed, so talking about a large trunk or the expanse of the rear passengers does not have to. Although in the finish of the interior there is still an innovation. Engineers supplied the floor, devices, door handles and the central console of the car with soft and red backlight, which is also active and changes its intensity “to the music”. If you think that it is impossible to distinguish an ordinary Mazda3 from mPS, then you are deeply mistaken. The first thing that catches your eye is a huge MPS rear spoiler and air intake on the hood, not to notice this is simply impossible. The bottom of the car also has pronounced differences, plastic apron and spoilers are launched along it. In general, you will immediately notice a more sports view of Mazda3 MPS, which will not leave indifferent lovers of sports cars.
