with the mps, dont be shocked if by just swapping the exhaust you get 250kw out of it (much like other 206kw japanese cars)

Don't bet on it - it's a bit like an XR6T - chuck a few tweaks in and you'd be at 300kw... except for the ECU doing some nice simple torque control to protect gearboxes and diffs.

Just to get off topic for a sec, that's what I'd like, but i'd want it blown (supercharged) and in a nice dark metallic grey.

Maybe you could ask Lantis to donate the 2.3 miller from his 800M :lol:

Is there anywhere official that say mazda are developing such varients?

Just curious, cause that would be cool.

Better start saving pennies.

Yes Mazda have officially said they will release the mazda 6 MPS. Its in the latest edition of wheels magazine.

I'm seriously working my ass off to lease a MPS. Its not my dream car but its an afforable car I can look to the future for.


PS. The B4 Liberty is slow piece of **** with its pistons the wrong way round.

The Cosmo has a towbar and I do use it.
I was hoping to to get the factory version of the AWD turbo '3' if/when it becomes available

What's the bet though that they just release the hatch in the AWD-T..

If it's released for motorsport reasons it's a safe bet as it's easier to engineer and access is also improved for the mechanics, the hatch is also a little shorter and lighter.
I can dream though :lol:
