Mazda3 MPS Laps the Ring
June 21, 2007 by George Skentzos
Mazda recently sent their force-fed hot hatch – the Mazda3 MPS – to the Nurburgring in Germany. The results were surprising to say the least.
The 2.3L turbocharged inline-4 engine in the Mazda3 MPS rockets the car from 0-100km/h in 6.1 seconds – making it the fastest car in the Mazda line-up, beating even the mighty RX8 (6.2 seconds) and the Mazda6 MPS (6.6 seconds).
The completely unmodified hatch laps the track – and a few bikes – in an impressive 8m 39s.
