Mazda 2 MPS debuts in LA

03rd December 2009

Mazda showed it's dark side at the 2009 LA Motor Show, with this high performance concept car, based on the Mazda 2...

Concieved as a weekend racer, but one that can function equally well as an urban commuter the Mazda 2Evil Special Concept was the Japanese firm's answer to Ford's sporty Fiesta RS concept - also shown at the LA event.

The body has been modified to show a more aggressive front spoiler and a deeper side rocker for improved aerodynamics and lower overall stance. 

The rear upper spoiler was redesigned for both additional downforce and a race appearance while Ceramic Grey paintwork, complete with  motorsports inspired graphics completes the look.

The graphics are finished off with the historic number 55, a tribute to the 1991 Le Mans-winning Mazda 787B race car. 

Wheels, mirrors and other details are accented in Spirited Green.  To top it off, the performance and stance are enhanced with 17” wheels, 215/45/17 Yokahama Advan tires, lowered coil-over suspension provided by H&R and Magna performance exhaust.
