Mazda 6 (Turbo Charged)

[5vz-fe]

From Canadiandriver.com

Unlike other Mazda6 models, which are assembled in the US, the Mazdaspeed 6 will be built in Japan. Its 2.3-litre four-cylinder engine is turbocharged and uses direct fuel injection to make 280 horsepower and 280 pounds-feet of torque.

With acceleration from 0-100 km/h in 6.6 seconds, power will be available low in the rev-range, a feature important in the North American market, according to Mazda, and the car comes only with a six-speed manual transmission.

Expect the Mazdaspeed 6 in March/April 2005, and pricing for it and the Mazda5 to be announced closer to launch date
