Ford Focus engine :)

Huh? Nope definitely not a Focus engine. The MZR DISI is Mazda's propriety engine. The MS3/3MPS has the same chassis as the Focus. Of course, in this case (generation 2 MPS), upgraded to lighter and more rigid steel.

can someone tell me the need for downforce on a front wheel drive?

This car is friggin awesome!! For anyone wondering, the thing holding back the 0-60 specs is the short gearing. You need at least 3 shifts to complete it, and that is totally unnecessary to have, since the engine has so much torque. First thing I'd do If I got one was to swap out the ratios from the 2.2L CDTi diesel 6speed (both Aisin transaxles), That would assure 60MPH comes in 2nd gear :D

Or add very accessible mild mods and remove the 1st to 3rd gear limiter :)

6,1 secs to 100 isn't that good for 2010 2.3 petrol turbocharged engine.. but still I have to love this MPS.

@kagolko

0-60 numbers don't do this car justice :)

Very nice MPS, but after i bought it i will change the front with a big agressive mouth, not that smile...i will tune it to 400 HP and beat any other hatchback... bring it on, this mazdaspeed rule...
