Mazda Protegé MPS





Mazda, the company as a supplier of sports machines designed to stimulate the machine in the middle of the image, "zoom" didn't you say you saw the AD? - The truth is, there's not much substance behind the smoke and mirrors. Hey, we love the Miata more than anyone. But Mazda's fun-to-drive Roadster in order to justify the central concept a little more than one feels the need for it.


As far as this car is concerned. MPS Mazda performance series and represents the first concept was shown at last year's SEMA show in Las Vegas protégé and now in the production stage is limited. Hot Honda Civic and Acura for the new age of social rodder integras besides offering an alternative, MPS, Mazda's Nissan once he took his first step into a field: four-door sports car in the grass.

Vegas. in the concept we saw we loved. A prototype of Mazda's next stop in Detroit to make a comeback with a show I liked her more when invited. This special first driving idea of the project was to provide feedback about: Small performance sedan, represents uncharted waters for Mazda. Protégé protégé 2001 after separating from his wife katalogladik the mps standard elements, here's what we're going to do.

Project Leader Kelvin Hiraishi, Mazda's little Hot Rod inexperience inexperienced in the field, recognizing resorted to racing beat for expert assistance in the development of the car's suspension. This will suspend all the mps understood about. After Anaheim opened the store in 1971, Racing Beat, Mazda's strong returns and, more recently, has been a source important for owners of miatas faster. The project was made by Chairman Jim hiraishi meander racing beat. Mederer first cone and damper at the end to get the correct Tokico tokico representative and quickly worked with both the finished product and for the success of the Mazda gave you the loan.

"Updated Protégé made a great starting point," he says. "A very good package, so let Mazda get this right, and I can't mention enough about this man from tokico.Refining, we were doing really well with the combination of control and comfort," I am very pleased with him. "

Tokico shock absorbers, as well as the hardened suspension bushings, heavier front and rear rollers (21 and 16 millimeters and 21 vs. 25 mm stock), and includes a reduction in static ride height by 15 mm. Steering system, a Euro-spec steering rack and Protégé z-rated 205/45 Dunlop SP2000 tire kit using 7.0 inch and 17-inch Racing Hart Alloy Wheels spitting on the sidewalk is the entrance to the drive in.

We send them with authority, we can add. Each element of the dynamic profile of this car, the standard Protégé is committed than his wife, don't have a pulse on your own. MPS attack corners with the enthusiasm of a Miata and a lot more body roll. Quick to his feet, connects it with the angle of each wheel, the cornering limits are quite high appears, and all of them without sacrificing too much ride quality and interior noise is directed.

Mazda, mustered up courage to go a little more with all that extra agility, but not too much. Burning program, intake manifold, and Racing Beat muffler a very good massage while doing the ignition timing, 2.0-liter four horsepower and creates a modest impact in York. Mazda, press the number of the output clock is finalizing, but it still the official estimate 140 horsepower and 140 pound-of torque for the moment.

Short-term assignment for the duration of the acceleration did not apply the official tests, but the mps low-we're guessing that I could get a top speed of 60 mph in eight seconds.

Naturally, there is a distinction cosmetic. Besides the wheels, the mps, a more aggressive front fascia and rocker-panel extensions are taking, but they will be shared with the protégé 5 hatchback. Although mps are specific to the rear wing, Silver leather seats and three arm shed light on the steering wheel. Aluminum clad sparco comes from the pedals with the feet, and also a palm pilot with buttons designed for the pen, looking jazzy 280-watt Kenwood sound system excelo.



In a way, many unknowns, conservative package. For example, price. Mazda only "less than $ 20,000." It at least under $ 1,000. It is not certain whether the vehicle will be the mps.

But one thing was clear, at least according to us: Protege MPS, in passing, in the field of pleasure, the radius turns, and fast S-curve easy enough for anyone to love yourself. May produce nosebleeds. Our tour but still the zoom-Zoom.
