No Speed6 in the future . . . - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

Earlier this week google news turned up a roadmap . . . they said the M6s had more than ample speed with the V6 and there was no need for a MS6

They forgot to add a transmission in the V6. I've looked at the schematics of the innards of what's in there and the best I can tell it's some sort of device for making fruit juice

Anyhoo . . . looks like engine-swap is going to be *MY* target (12k miles down, 58k to go . . .).

It probably wouldn't be worth the cash (over just taking the MZI V6) but I'm guessing the EcoBoost V6 from the 2010 Taurus SHO might be a fit. That 2.2 TDI is pretty tempting too

Oh well . . . I can't say I'm surprised. Sedan's can't have a M/T with a big engine in the US and all high-horsepower M/Ts have to be RWD

Not trolling --- someone prove me wrong, I beg you!

nope no proving you wrong, it's been pretty much established that there will not be a new MS6 in the near future. All we get is the FWD counterpart.

Will the FWD have the twin turbo like the SHO?

No, he meant the 6GT s.

For the SHO I was talking about an engine swap :/

V6? I wish, there isn't even a variant like that here in Europe. The "top of the line"- model is the NA 2.5l model, which is lightyears from the Mazda 6 MPS. I'm very unhappy if this thing doesn't emerge, all we are left with are basic (boring) models :/

im ok without a new release... not sayin its for the better..
but helps maintain the unique status of mine..

People who get Deisel engines in their market are NOT ALLOWED to complain about engine choices! :P

hehe

I'd give anything to see a return of the Speed. Never too much power!

At this point, they'd have to go completely 180 on the American-market-esque lineup to get a MT in the V6 . . . and that's about as close to an MS6 as we'll ever get.

Rats, was hoping I would find that they were planning a Speed6 variant. Obviously, the enthusiasts are out there.
