Mazdaspeed3. prototype car. 2014 or 2015
 

.


Looks pretty sick to me!

2014 is definitely a no go and most likely 2015 is in the same boat. With Mazda reintroducing the RX-7 and working diligently on their new turbo diesel, I don't see them forking out a new Speed platform for a couple years. Plus, it's been rumored a mazdaspeed 6 will be the next biggun to run again. But what do I know...

^ yeah don't think it's going to happen for a while. I hope they do make a speed6 it would look amazing with the new styling.

The more pictures i see of the new Speed the more i'm starting to like the silly green on my gen2.

Need a CP-E turbo kit for the 2.5 Skyactiv and the sexy 2800lb curb weight of the '14. No need to wait for Mazda. Not sure what you'd do to hide that hideous bubble butt,though.

Speed6 with the new styling would be so sexy. I'm okay waiting a few years for the next speed though

I dunno...i thought us gen poo's had lots of overhang but i saw a new 3 today and holy overhang. I don't know if its the shape because i doubt its substantially more than ours but the overhang just sticks out in this new model. A speed variant won't help with the looks...

The new hatch is 1.6" wider than the pu, .6" lower, 1.8" shorter, with a 2.4" longer wheelbase.

So, 4.2" less overhang. How much front and back, idk.

But yeah don't count on a new speed any time soon. If/when it happens, I believe the 6 will be first. Also don't count on a super light speed3 - the base 2.0 gen3 may be 2800 lbs, but the base 2.0 pu is only 100 lbs heavier. I think they might manage 3000-3100 lbs with a 2.0 turbo. If it's twin-scroll, still a better setup than the pu.

This is the first ive ever heard someone mention mazda working on a new rx7. If they are that would be sweet as long as they do it right. I would expect mazda to have the current mazda3 model out for 2 maybe 3 years before a performance model drops. Any longer than that and they would already have a new refreshed model about to debut. Id expect a speed3 by 2015 if they are going to make one with this current model and we will will definitely hear about it atleast in 2014

I'll keep my Pu. DAAAAANKS

really? they just took this

They look pretty good already with a different bumper.

^^^ looks like a Mercedes

Agreed, or....

Looks like the 2015 Mustang :261:

The mustangs are kind of weird looking with that bottom valence.

-Derrick

I think its a pretty good evolution on where they were already headed & its certainly more aggressive.

This is the 2013-2014 front-

New RX-7? Really? hmmmmmm lol

The Mustang looks too Ford Fusion-Y. I don't believe that RX-7 rumor for a minute though

Lol

New Rx7 posts have been popping up for years. I will believe it when I see a real car.

New Mazdaspeed 3 To Go All-Wheel Drive?

Yes please

I've never been one to trade cars in on a whim, the Speed3 was the first one I ever financed, but a twin turbo diesel speed6 with RWD or AWD, I'd be at the dealer in a heartbeat.

Here yah go brownie;

I was happy to see a FMIC from the factory.

I am hoping that the new Speed 3 will look like this rendering

I wonder if genpu parts will be transferable if thats legit cause I would def trade mine in for that!

It's just a fanboy rendering.

You would seriously trade in a new 2013 MS3 if Mazda releases a Gen III car? I can't wrap my head around this mindset. I hate this 'cult of the new' shit that people do with cars. With the amount of money and time that it takes to pay a car off - usually the most expensive thing any of us own next to a house - it makes no sense. Build and enjoy the car you already have. It's already the meanest hot hatch ever released in the US, and whatever comes next is likely to be more tame, since Mazda cannot survive on niche cars anymore now that Ford is no longer a partner.

I hope a speed6 comes out. But with a gas powered DISI engine that's either just updated or the same as we have now. Not a fan of the deisel. I would stock out/trade in for that because AWD and because mid-size sedan. My car is almost paid off now too.

This car is a lease so I would just trade it in for the other no problem I wasnt sure if I wanted to buy this out so relax I do love this car but if I can get the new one same price ill do it

Man that's a fuck ton of mods for a lease

The dealer knew what they were getting into before I signed the contract lol they said keep it bolt on and if you decide to get rid of it we will uninstall the parts for you just keep the stock ones

I think Mazda will survive without ford. Every review I have seen the new 6 is in the top if not the top in the mid size sedan segment. The new 3 is also getting very good reviews as is the CX5. Mazda just needs to get people away from the better established brands like toyota and ford. If I was a car sales guy and someone was looking at cars in the same segments as Mazda I would try and talk them into test driving the Mazda. That alone should sell then over the competitors

I think Ford only owns 10-15% of Mazda anyways so they are pretty much on their own now. I could be of though

Mazda is next to our booth at SEMA. Someone sent me this pic. Its called a "clubsport 3"

Looks fresh @littleloogy;

thanks knew it was mad low lol

They have any specs on the clubsport?

I'll get our engineers to talk to their engineers and see if he can get anything out of them. Ill post up finding when or if I find out more.

Some more info via google. There is also a clubsport6

Mazda 3 and 6 concepts at the 2013 SEMA show - Autoweek

http://wot.motortrend.com/1311_mazda...g_fashion.html

The Club Sport 3 concept starts with the Mazda 3 hatchback and adds an aerodynamic package that's actually fairly restrained -- probably because it's sourced from Mazda itself. The kit, which features front, rear and side diffusers and a slightly bolder rear spoiler, will be available worldwide. Mazda hasn't yet released pricing information.

The Club Sport 3 enjoys more powertrain modifications than the other three concepts, with its 2.5-liter gasoline engine (the larger of the two available powerplants) mated to a six-speed manual transmission derived from the gearbox in the CX-5. A shorter 4.7:1 final drive ratio, a Wavetrac helical limited-slip differential, a CUSCO coilover kit and a Racing Beat performance exhaust round out the package. Like all of Mazda's 2013 SEMA show concepts, the Club Sport 3 gets Brembo brakes with drilled brake rotors.

Like the Club Sport 3, the Club Sport 6 gets a Mazda-sourced aerodynamic kit and a paint job set off by Club Sport graphics. Rays 57 Motorsport 20-inch black wheels and Yokohama tires complete the exterior package.

Unlike the Club Sport 3, the 6 gets the Skyactiv-D 2.2-liter diesel powerplant; Mazda does note that it is the Eurospec version of the engine, not the one destined for eventual US release. Why this matters from the perspective of the SEMA show floor, we're not exactly sure -- attendees are probably more likely to be gawking at the Mazda Design aero kit than they are to be peeking under the hood.

2.5 automatic....... Fail.

Reading fail. Right above you it says 2.5 with 6 speed manual

Boo. No go fast mods.

lolololol

Dashboard looks so old lol

Go try to order one for North America with a 2.5 engine......

I don't think you can order these particular models yet. Again read the post above yours. This are not standard Mazda 3 and 6 they are a sema show car that might see production

I actually had a long conversation with someone in planning at Mazda about the 2.5 engines. It is an if at this point which sucks. It means if I want a 2.5 MT I will have to make one from a Mazda 6.

-Derrick

I've been waiting for an MS6 replacement for 8 years now. I'd planned on buying a 2013 LGT as an "Okay, I give up" car, but subaru stopped making them in 2012... so I bought a used MS6.

Maybe a few hundred of us should get together with cash in hand and storm their US headquarters demanding the car be built. If it could be willed into existence, it would exist based on my intent to buy one alone :-)
