Mazda powers with new hot hatch

WE MAY be going through an austere recession, but it seems that the car industry just cannot keep the brakes on high performance hatchback development.

One of the latest road rockets to enter the fray is the flagship of the newly introduced Mazda3 range - the potent 260ps Mazda3 MPS.

Standing for Mazda Performance Series, the new 'super-hatch' tops the Mazda3 range with a price of £21,500.

The MPS is a statement of Mazda's Zoom Zoom marketing jingle and the truth is that it cannot stop zooming, such is its depth of performance. At its heart lies a 2.3-litre DISI* Turbo engine, a development of the engine that powered the previous model but has been modified to comply with Euro5 emissions requirements without a loss of power.

Sprinting to 62mph in just 6.1 seconds, and a limited top speed of 155mph are just part of the story. A responsive chassis (41 per cent stiffer than its predecessor) allows for finer tuning of the modified suspension which It has been lowered by 5mm compared to other new Mazda3 models.

Eco Cars: Mazda Souga All-electric Car Is The Way You Want It To ...

Eco Factor: Zero-emission vehicle designed to be powered by electricity.

Designers have always worked hard to show us the world of the future as they envision it to be in their dreams. We all know that with fossil fuel sources depleting at the rate they are today, auto makers will be forced to design vehicles that get powered by alternative fuels.

Designers Carlos Salaff and Jacques Flynn believe that by the year 2030, specialized online software would be available that will allow users to design vehicles according to their requirements and get them built by the car manufacturer.

Mazda Souga is just an example of the infinite possibilities such a manufacturing system will offer. Moreover, you won’t have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for these hi-tech vehicles, as they’ll be made available with a two-year contract, similar to the one we sign when purchasing a new cellphone.

Mazda Souga is a lightweight and minimal sports coupe with experimental shapes, ornate detailing and a dramatically proportioned exterior. Since in the future all digital communication and information devices will be integrated into fashion apparel, the car’s interiors will just feature a steering wheel, a conventional information display and normal controls.

After the contract expires, the user can take the vehicle back to the manufacturer and get it remade with the inclusion of new systems and technologies. The car manufacturer will have the ability to recycle parts from the old car, which will further reduce the associated emissions.
