http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazdaspeed3The Mazdaspeed3 features the same turbocharged 2.3-litre DISI MZR I4 engine from the Mazda6 MPS/Mazdaspeed 6. In this application, it produces
263 hp (196 kW) and 280 ft·lbf (380 N·m) when running on 93 octane gasoline ((R+M)/2). This is routed through the front wheels rather than the complex all-wheel drive system found on its big brother (Mazdaspeed6). The Australian market receives the Mazda3 MPS with the same engine as the Mazda6 MPS with
190 kW (255 hp) of power. The engine was listed in the Ward's 10 Best Engines for three years straight.[1]
Several road tests have the Mazdaspeed3
attaining 0-60 mph in under six seconds with skidpad numbers in the .87 to .91 range.[clarification needed] In Car and Driver magazine's May 2007 issue, the Mazdaspeed3 recorded its quickest acceleration times,
completing the 0-60 mph sprint in 5.3 seconds, with a quarter mile time of 13.8 at 102 mph (164 km/h). Car and Driver also put the Mazdaspeed3 on their 10 best list for 2007 and 2008.
