Mazda2 MPS May Yet Come… If Mazda Settles On MPS Strategy

Mazda has not ruled out the possibility of a souped-up MPS version of its new 2 hatch - but we shouldn't expect to see it anytime soon. 

The past few years have seen Mazda roll out new platforms, new engines and new transmissions in rapid-fire succession, all to support four very important new model ranges.

If the relatively small carmaker isn’t ready to confirm plans for a new performance range - a necessarily costly undertaking - that’s simply to be expected.

Still, there’s no shortage of enthusiasm inside Mazda for a hot 2 to take on the likes of Volkswagen’s Polo GTI, Ford’s Fiesta ST and Renault’s Clio RS.

Speaking with TMR in Japan for a first drive of the new Mazda2, development boss Kengo Fukushima said simply “Yes, I am looking forward to that, I want that” when quizzed on the topic of a 2 MPS flagship.
