Manchester Mazda Drivers Get Sport Inspired Details
Sporty. Agile. Fierce. The Mazda Speed 3 takes design cues from Mazda’s award winning Nagare concept vehicle. The front of the Mazda Speed 3 screams, “Here comes trouble,” with a lower air dam and round halogen fog lights that frame a five-point black grille, a Mazda family signature. Subtle, wedge shaped, curving Nagare-like character lines in the hood and down the sides give Mazda Speed 3 a strong sense of motion. Aggressively styled 18 inch alloy wheels and low-profile performance tires.
Mazda Speed 3’s cred comes through not only in its performance, but also in the details of its design. That huge air scoop isn’t just to scare the guy in front of you; it’s designed to feed the turbocharger’s intercooler with cool air. Your nights just got brighter with available bi-xenon headlights with an adaptive front-lighting system (AFS) to help you see around turns at night, plus LED tail lights that help make the Mazda Speed 3’s rear more visible.
Large dual exhaust outlets deliver a fitting parting shot to the ones you leave behind. Settle into the bolstered driver’s seat and Mazda Speed 3 continues to impress with aluminum alloy pedals, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob with red stitching, red and black fabric, and Mazda Speed 3 floor mats and front doorsill trim plates. Just so there’s no mistaking you’re behind the wheel of something wicked, a turbo boost gauge tells you when it’s time to hang on.
Turbocharged Performance for Manchester Mazda Drivers
At our Mazda dealer serving Hartford, the Mazda Speed 3’s 263-hp turbocharged 2.3 liter engine is the power behind this hot rod’s rambunctious ride. 2.3 liter DOHC 16-valve direct injection spark ignition (DISI) turbocharged 4-cyllinder engine cranks out 263 hp at 5500 rpm and 280 lb-ft of torque at 3000 rpm. Mazda’s advanced torque management system helps reduce torque steer to improve control when you hit the boost from a standing start.
With a sport compact this fast, you’d better know a thing or two about aerodynamics. Extensive use of wind tunnels resulted in a car with an exceptionally stable ride. Specially designed Mazda Speed 3 components such as the front bumper, hood, front fenders, and roof-mounted wing, help keep your feet on the blacktop as you reign on the streets.
Warner-Hitachi K04 turbocharger with air to air intercooler delivers plenty of power and torque. Chain-driven dual overhead cams, four valves per cylinder and variable intake-valve timing help improve engine breathing. Aluminum alloy block cylinder head, combined with a forged steel crankshaft and connecting rods, means this engine is lightweight.
