Speed 3
Since 2007, the Mazdaspeed3 has proven itself to be one of the best bang for the buck performance values on the sport compact market. With a capable 260hp 2.3 liter turbo engine and a front engine/front wheel drive layout, this platform has been poised for big numbers from day one. Minimal parasitic drivetrain power loss puts the Mazdaspeed3 at a distinct advantage when compared to AWD competitors, with the ability to put more power to the road with each upgrade. When it was first released, and to the surprise of the majority of the automotive community, the MS3 was out accelerating and braking cars over double the price! The platform has been so successful that when Mazda introduced the all new 2010 model year MS3 (the only Mazdaspeed branded car to receive a second generation, by the way) , they carried over the same capable engine and drivetrain from the first iteration, save for a few gearing tweaks. All in all, the Mazdaspeed3 is a great performer for both the light bolt on daily driver enthusiast as well as all the tire burning horsepower freaks out there. With the MS3 in mind, Acep Styling brings you the big names in aftermarket performance like AEM, Cobb, TurboXS, Eibach, Tein, HKS, Hawk, Borla and more. With this kind of power on tap, it is very easy to ‘light em up’ with the Mazdaspeed3.
