Reports say that automotive company Mazda is getting rid of its Mazdaspeed performance-focused division.
Even following the creation of Mazda’s most notable cars such as the Mazdaspeed6, Mazdaspeed Miata & Mazdaspeed3, the Japanese company is moving more towards luxury automotive sectors.
According to sources, during a media Q&A session with Mazda, a spokesman said: “Mazda is focused on becoming more mature and upscale… It is our priority to continue to evolve the next generation of Skyactiv Technologies. As part of this evolution, we are refining and applying our turbocharged engines to more models to provide better, stronger performance with engaging driving dynamics.”
Mazda will now be designing and developing luxury sedans & turbo powered cars i.e. the Mazda3 Turbo.
