THE 2010 MAZDASPEED3

It is an unwritten law of nature. When both parents have children more often than not, their offspring will be completely different. You'll have the father's eyes, the nose a second mom. Some are moderate, happy and always smiling, and others, well - they will be wrong. Enter the 2010 all-new MAZDASPEED3. From a distance it may look like his brother Mazda3 with its five-point grille and flowing lines, but a minute behind the wheel to prove otherwise.

For 2010, the blends five-door MAZDASPEED3 functionality of the new Mazda3 5-door with bolder, more aggressive styling and exhilarating performance to meet the needs of driving enthusiasts with an active lifestyle. Report award-winning 2.3-liter MZR DISI Turbo, the new MAZDASPEED3 is based on the legendary performance of the original while adding a new look and better handling.

Expressive design and dynamic

The design of the all-new MAZDASPEED3 identity transforms from sports to create a more aggressive appearance. The result is a more emotional design of sport, the nature of agile all-new Mazda3 5-door to a new level.

The MAZDASPEED3 is easily distinguished from his brothers and sisters. From the front, where a lower air dam and fog lamps round Professionals, black metal grille. The hood scoop is now home to an intercooler to improve the cooling of fresh air, and front fenders flared to contain large car tires.

From the side view is the new 18 x 7.5 aluminum wheels-inch single, but modeled on highly carved, expressive and very easy, 19-inch forged wheels on the RX-8 R3. Sculpted side skirts and a lower price also give reasons for loss MAZDASPEED3. From behind twice larger exhaust tips, a rear apron painted the same as the black metal grille and a higher roof-mounted rear spoiler to give it.

Nagare design inspiration and continues to define the outside in the cockpit, including the coordination of colors and materials chosen to excite the driver and passengers every time you sit down. Black is the color of the opening used throughout the interior, while the seats and the fabric is finished with organic red graphic. This unique design MAZDASPEED3 is distributed everywhere, with red stitching reinforce the interior sports steering wheel, seats, door trim, shifter boot and armrest.

The scoreboard in the new Mazdaspeed3 is designed to provide a feeling of space while displaying critical information in height and depth in the dashboard near the driver's field of vision and focus. The instrument cluster for the all-new MAZDASPEED3 also includes a new LED Turbo Boost gauge located between the meter.

The driver's seat is critical for all high performance cars. Without a strong lateral support, you can lose focus, control and precision necessary to truly enjoy driving. Completely new MazdaSpeed3 seats are designed to provide such support without compromising the comfort of everyday life.

Dazzling performance

The all-new Mazda MAZDASPEED3 continue to use 2.3L MZR DISI Turbo award winning engine. Providing 263 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 280 lb-ft of torque at 3000 rpm, it makes MAZDASPEED3 car's original performance the most powerful front-wheel drive under $ 25,000, and is still one of more powerful engines in its category today.

Where there is no need to add strength, the development team focused on exploiting the power effectively. Engine power is itself consistent with a hood scoop installed intercooler, intercooler will not only improve the air flow grill mounted intercooler auto channel last year, but also to leave the room for the grilled fresh air duct to power the engine intake. Breathing cold air to improve efficiency, as well as adding real-world performance and fuel economy.

Gears of compact gearbox with three trees was also revised, with the second gear to 5 gets all a bit higher to make better use of abundant torque of the motor. The spacing of new gear and engine calibration is refined focus on providing more linear power delivery smooth. The advanced torque management that minimizes torque by adjusting the torque based on angle and steering gear have also been adjusted. The new gears give more torque to be used in lower gears while maintaining torque at an affordable level.

It behaves like a Mazda

The body of the new MazdaSpeed3 will benefit from efforts to strengthen key elements of the structure. The use of high strength and ultra-high security steel structures, such as bumpers and side impact bars has almost doubled in these areas as well as stronger and lighter. Suspension mounting points are all the rigidity of the use of thicker sheet of high stress and the use of flexible solder bond, which combines a hybrid technique combines the traditional position of structural adhesive joints. The torsional stiffness around the rear suspension mounts have improved by about two percent, while the drop across the tailgate has reduced by almost 40 percent.

In general, a more rigid structure allows firmer suspension settings, without compromising ride comfort. In the case of the new MazdaSpeed3, the firmer the suspension was made stiffer springs, high damping rates, and check the mounting points of the front stabilizer bar to reduce the deformation of the sleeve and to increase the efficiency bar. Along with a larger, more high grip 225/40R18 Dunlop SP Sport 2050 high-performance tires, new suspension settings MazdaSpeed3 married in a quiet comfortable ride control every day.

sense of direction and intervention have improved over the 3-point rigid fixation of the steering rack, compared with the previous system of 2 points. The power steering pump was also removed from the engine and is now powered by an electric motor. This electro-hydraulic steering assist (EHPAS) reduces parasitic resistance on the engine temperature decreases steering fluid, and allows greater flexibility for the development team to make the steering feel. rigid steering feel at high speed can now be done without suffering heavy steering at low speed

Brake feel hard braking has been improved through the improvement of care of the mechanical braking system electronic control. Brake Assist shortens the braking distance in panic stop situations by applying brake pressure at the moment of hesitation that most drivers have at this point after the first step on the brake. The new electronic control system is preferable to distinguish between panic stop situations, and truth, for example, braking hard for turn 11 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

Features & Options - All you want, nothing that need not

2010 MazdaSpeed3 is loaded all the goodies driving enthusiasts want to, but not everything that adds unnecessary weight. Standard features and equipment are variable intermittent windshield wipers, aerodynamic antenna on the roof, illuminated vanity mirrors, electroluminescent gauges, aluminum pedals, MAZDA SPEED brand, black / red cloth seats, door trim, furniture, carpets, strips, black / red decorative panel and dual-zone air conditioning. Available MazdaSpeed3 Tech Edition offers advanced keyless start button, compact navigation system, color satellite Sirius six months of free service, ring the alarm, six-CD changer and Bose ® Centerpoint ® Surround Sound - five surround system designed to BOSE ® cooperatively, which improves the listening experience with digital amplifier, noise and Technology 10, strategically located, premium speakers.

Because the weight and pain of the structure could compromise the pure driving experience, the MAZDASPEED3 is available with an optional sunroof.

The MAZDASPEED3 is the third model in 2010 Mazda3 lineup, joining the Mazda3 5-door, which made its North American debut at the North American International Auto Show earlier this year and 4-door sedan that made its world debut at the Salon Auto Los Angeles In November of last year.

Headquartered in Irvine, Calif., Mazda North American Operations oversees the sales, marketing, parts and customer support service to Mazda USA, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico through over 850 retailers. Operations in Canada are managed by Mazda Canada, Inc., located in Ontario, Canada and Mexico by Mazda Motor de Mexico in Mexico City.
