The Mazda3 MPS - Extreme Performance

Dance with the Devil. Mazda's darker side has arrived.

Golf GTi; 0-62mph in 6.9 seconds. Focus ST; 6.8 seconds. Leon Cupra; 6.4seconds. Mazda3 MPS; 6.1 seconds.

Mazda3 MPS accelerates from 0-62mph in a staggering 6.1 seconds. And the impressive figures don't stop there. A massive 380Nm of torque is at your disposal offering immense in-range pull.

Stomp on the accelerator and throw it into the corners. The car won't respect you if you don't. Look out for the rise of the bonnet as you accelerate sharply, the gaping bonnet vent helping your beast to breathe. Phenomenal levels of grip will ensure steering accuracy and an outstanding drive experience and with lowered sports suspension, sleek 18" alloy wheels and imposing styling, Mazda3 MPS really is the ultimate in sports cars.

Deeply-bolstered sports bucket seats and a vibrant interior hint at the devilish personality behind this missile of a car. They hold and support as you address your favourite series of bends, and provide a strong backbone when you're experiencing that blistering pace and acceleration.

Class-leading levels of specification ensure that the Mazda3 MPS is not just a performance car; it also has all the luxuries and toys you wouldn't expect. Radar-based rear vehicle monitoring system, rain-sensing automatic front wipers and dusk-sensing automatic Bi-Xenon headlights with Adaptive Front lighting System. The gadgets continue inside with automatic dual-zone climate control, premium Bose® surround sound system and an integrated 4.1" full-colour navigation system.

Made in Japan. It's extreme, out of the ordinary and awesome. Three words sum it up nicely; MAZDA. PERFORMANCE. SERIES. Experience it for yourself by requesting a test drive or by contacting your local dealer.
