Mazda showcases two 2010 Mazda3-based cars at the 2009 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas. They are built on the Mazda3 2.5-litre and the MazdaSpeed3, both of which offer good basis for tuning purposes.

The team painted the cars in a Crystal White Pearl base coat with soft grey tone graphics to mimic the Mazda3 World Challenge race car while the front grille inserts, side mirrors, fog lamp bezels and the roof panel went black. The windows are also tinted and the red taillight lenses darkened. Wheels and tyres used are 19x8-inch rims with 225/40-19 Bridgestone Potenza RE050A respectively.

The sedan got a boost of power through a turbo unit and now pushes out 184kW (250hp). Its suspension system was upgraded to KW Suspension double-adjustable coil-overs and a Tri-Point adjustable rear stabiliser bar.

The MazdaSpeed3 only gained 15kW (20hp) on the standard issue car but was also fitted with KW coil-overs, four-piston Stoptech calipers and modified top mounts on the front struts amongst others.

I wish they're remove the retarded plastic supports in front of the grille that completely destroy what a good image they'd portray with the grille left alone as it is. Have to say the hatchback design is the first one I've seen yet that gets my favor. I never liked the looks of them but that one is pretty sharp.

Sweet. MS3 is great bang for the $s. I can't wait to see what they can do with the Mazda 2.

250hp Mazda 3 Sedan, thats pretty damn cool. Mazda hit a home run with the new 3, nice looking cars.

thebiggdaddy

I'm still not feeling the new look of the Mazda 3's. I loved the previous one.

88dblifestyle

Yes you're right Thebiggdaddy, I like the old Mazda 3's too.. But this is my dream car.

Tell me guys if it is cool

JRichter

Not bad. Paint them black and I would drive either one.

Anijo

Those wheels look awfully familiar...



Yah, I'd still take a 250hp 3 sedan. I wonder if it's lighter than the hatch?

Now if only they'd make a MS version of the sedan...

i wish they would have made the ms3 in that color this year.. i am having to decide between black, and curse of the silver! but the silver is almost a gray..

It would be awesome if the 3rd gen got the turbo 2.5, Revo-Knuckle, and the sedan option. Talk about a beast!

CarAndDriver

It'd be nice to have that color in the MS3. Not a lot of color choice and that electric blue they have is ugly.

It is too bad there is not a GT package for the MS3. It really needs a sunroof, HIDs, heated seats and maybe a cloth/leather or suede upholstery. The last gen had HIDs...

I wish Mazda would make those wheels readily available at a reasonable price.

...and not offering the new MS 8 in white in the US = FAIL.

renesisgenesis

please send a link to show the MS 8. I could have sworn that car isn't actually real.

77mjd

My bad. I meant Mazdaspeed 3, not 8. However it wouldn't have hurt to offer the R3 in white in the states.

renesisgenesis

yeah i agree the r3 is good in white and was a poor choice to not offer it here in the US.

sweet cars, i love how the paint is very suttle (sp)

Those bigger wheels make the sedan look a lot better. I don't like the stock wheels on the new 3's one bit. (except for MS 3)
