For the MX-3 Precidia GS, Mazda engineers ignored traditional space limitations and designed a 1.8 litre, 128-horsepower 24-valve V6 that fits neatly under the MX-3 Precidia's low hood line. It's a "world's first," a compact dual-overhead-cam powerplant with a two-piece aluminum black, each half specially reinforced The block is extraordinarily rigid and free from vibration, yet retains the weight advantages of aluminum. Multiport electronic fuel injection teams with a 3-stage Variable Resonance Induction System (VRIS) to provide a supercharging effect without the supercharger.

The patented Mazda Twin Trapezoidal Link (TTL) independent rear suspension works to deliver some of the benefits of 4-wheel steering, such as quick response when you change lanes or turn corners, but does it without added weight, complexity or cost. TTL automatically maintains the best alignment of the rear tires to the road surface, improving both stability and agility. |
