Video: 562 PS and front-wheel drive in the Mazda 3 MPS (Speed3)

As the Mazda 3 MPS (UNITED STATES: Mazda speed 3), the competition wasn't even close in terms of performance. Strictly speaking, a current one has VW Golf GTI still after more than a decade not the performance of the little Japanese. And we don't necessarily see the Golf R, the BMW 130i or the Audi S3 as direct competitors due to the significantly higher entry costs. Only the Opel Astra OPC (Vauxhall Astra VXR) stalked the Mazdaspeed20 with around 3 hp less. With an enormous output of 260 hp (196 kW) and front-wheel drive the Japanese reached a top speed of electronically cordoned off 250 kilometers per hour and managed the sprint to country road pace in just 6,1 seconds.

However, the performance was really effective not on the street. One reason why one Renault Megane RS, Ford Focus ST or the VW Golf GTI shake off the MPS without any problems. And that shouldn't really be different with this tuned copy from the video. At least up to 100 km / h. But then he shakes off the competition easily. Because the 2,3-liter in-line four-cylinder with turbocharger reportedly has a performance of formidable 562 PS with an almost unchanged appearance. At the same time he still has front-wheel drive! The electronic limitation seems to be still present. And how can the part be driven? You can find out in the following video!
