Mazda Reveals Track-tastic Concepts And Racers

SEMA show reveals some very quick Mazdas (insert Zoom-Zoom joke here)

---

Mazda has produced a gaggle of tweaked cars for the SEMA show in Las Vegas, including a 180mph Mazda 3 and a supermini circuit car called the Mazda 2 Evil Track.

Mazda has also created a special version of its MX-5 to celebrate the car's 20th anniversary - the MX-5 Super20, which has had rather a lot of modifications, including a supercharged Cosworth engine.

The 180mph Mazda 3 is actually a Redline Time Attack competition car, and runs more than 500bhp courtesy of its deeply modified 2.5-litre turbocharged motor - but Mazda hasn't provided a picture in its press release and, since we have no Las Vegas correspondent (applications accepted via e-mail...), you'll just have to imagine what it looks like (...or you can have a look at the Time Attack Mazda 3 here).

The Mazda 2 Evil Track car (no, we're not quite sure about that name either) is also a fully committed racer that conforms to all the relevant US motorsport requirements for series racing.

Seriously cool MX5! If I had an NC it would look like that!

I'm going for the Mazda2.

Do you reckon we can get employee discount Jonny?

Yeah! 20% off.. So that makes it err.. £14,000 or so

[Gillet]

I'll take a Mazda 2 and an MX5 in that trim please, wish some companies would produce track cars like this, good work Mazda!

[soad]

The Mazda 2 Evil Track car looks the part.

Time Attack's bhp output reads like a dream.

[Stevesh]

Yes, another vote for the MX-5

[Hungry Freak]

I like that a lot.

[UnluckyTimmeh]

^ i think that car has a brake bias problem. Every photo has it with its rear wheels locked

[PetrolAholic]

Is it just me or does that look awesome?

[mcrdave]

It's not you... it looks awesome.

WTF is an organic street clutch? Is it made from lentils?

[leon9191]

They look super cool. The Evil track day car!

[Mc lovin]

Finally an mx5 I actually like!

[ezakimak]

what is the green mazda 2 in this shot?

[Proxy]

God I love the look of that MX5 ... Do want please.

[carl carlson]

Mazda 3 time attack please.

Are they going to bring that MX5 into production then?

Agreed.

So... Mazda cars officially running the DPTune ECU eh

This is the ECU that all the S/C cars in the states are now running - if they are 100% reliable then it's a goer. Love the Enkei RPF1s under those arches too.

Want!
