Zoom-Zoom with oomph!

Mazda3 MPS is the 2nd model in the Mazda Performance Series (MPS), following the launched of Mazda6 MPS. this will be named as Mazdaspeed Axela in Japan, Mazdaspeed3 in USA and, Mazda3 MPS in other regions incl. EU, Asia-Pacific.
Mazda3 MPS is powered by 2.3L MZR DISI (Direct Injection Spark Ignition) TURBO petrol engine. the same turbo-charged 4-banger can also be found in Mazda6 MPS(260ps @5,500rpm) and usdm CX7 (244ps @5,000rpm). but contrary to Mazda6 MPS' all-wheel drive (AWD) system, Mazda3 MPS gets front-wheel drive(FF).

nb. kudos to Mazda for being the brave soul in resisting those silly electric-hybrid motor for the masses - pls continue to give us your fabulous Turbo and Wankel/Rotary (Renesis in RX-8) engines!
