2006 Mazda MAZDASPEED6
Boasting a unique 2.3-liter direct-injection turbo-charged four-cylinder
engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission and a high-tech Active
Torque-Split All-Wheel Drive system, the MAZDASPEED6 has
all the performance and passion of a specialist rally replica, but with the
refinement of a luxury sedan. There’s no need to buy earplugs and hire a
chiropractor every time you go for a drive with this Mazda.

MAZDASPEED6: The Ultimate Zoom-Zoom Mazda6

Source: Mazda | Published: Sun Nov 06, 2005 |
The new MAZDAPEED6 is the fastest accelerating, best handling and most
advanced sports sedan Mazda has ever built.
But the MAZDAPEED6 is not just about speed. As befits a top-of-the-line model,
the MAZDAPEED6 offers a host of creature comforts that the “rally replicas”
could only hope for, such as comfortable and supportive seats with optionally
available leather trim, a six-speaker AM/FM/CD sound system with an optional
BOSE audio system featuring a six-disc CD changer, and available xenon
headlights, moonroof and DVD-based navigation system.
“The MAZDASPEED name is synonymous with amazing agility and road holding and the
MAZDAPEED6 doesn’t disappoint,” says Kevin Mori, MAZDAPEED6 vehicle line manager
for Mazda North American Operations. “What’s all the more remarkable is that,
unlike some rival rally-replica all-wheel drive sedans the MAZDSPEED 6 also
achieves superb ride and refinement.”
The MAZDASPEED banner incorporates factory-built vehicles that offer the
highest-possible performance, yet are true to their donor vehicles;
factory-developed and -warranted street and racing performance parts and
accessories; and MAZDASPEED Motorsports Development, the company’s racing
division.
MAZDASPEED Magic
Mazda has always been a powerplant pioneer. The 13B RENESIS rotary unit in the
sensational RX-8 is the world’s only production rotary engine and now the
MAZDAPEED6 launches with a boundary-breaking engine of its own. ...Mazda MAZDASPEED6: Page 2
