Thread: Mazda6 performance and coupe models mooted, all-wheel drive under consideration too

    Default Mazda6 performance and coupe models mooted, all-wheel drive under consideration too

    Filed under: Sedan, Performance, Japan, Mazda, Design/Style


    AutoExpress reports Mazda is already looking at ways to give the company's 2014 Mazda6 a little more heat. The company isn't throwing out too many details at the moment beyond saying executives are looking at the possibility of creating a spiritual successor to the Mazdaspeed6. While speaking with the publication, Hiroshi Kajiyama, program manager for the Mazda6, admits a performance version has lots of potential, and that such a machine would be helpful for the brand. If a hotter four-door hits the market, it will likely be lighter than its common sibling with around 100 fewer pounds to lug around. It may also bow with a turbocharged version of the currently-available diesel mill.

    Meanwhile, Autocar reports the new Mazda6 may spawn a two-door variant as well. Akira Tamatani, Mazda chief designer, said he would love to make such a vehicle, though no solid decision has been made one way or the other. What else does Mazda have planned for its newest model? Developers are sweating over the possible addition of an all-wheel drive system to help the machine better compete in foul-weather markets.Mazda6 performance and coupe models mooted, all-wheel drive under consideration too originally appeared on Autoblog on Wed, 29 Aug 2012 17:31:00 EST.

    From stock, to GT3071, to substantially less modded, many lessons learned!

    Also keen for a new mps, by the time they get around to it in a few years time I would be most keen.
    Imagine an awd mps wagon (drool). That is perfection for me

    Believe this or not, my original passion for mazda's didn't come from my RX7 more so from my 1979 626 which was also available in a coupe (would still like one) If a 2 door AWD mps6 came out I might give the brand another chance.

    5 years of happy motoring and still can't come to parting with my MPS 6. This could be the replacement provided it comes with AWD and remains a manual!

    Wagon would be good from a practical point of view, however I like the idea of a 2 door!
    R36 - Just like an MPS6 except with a growly V6

    Thats the model. The one that sealed the deal was "Pat Axes" 626 coupe in a very old fast fours and rotaries mag.
