"Although much of the news around Mazda these days is focused on the company&amp;#039;s new SkyActiv systems, which promote efficiency and fun, the SEMA show let the performance-minded folks at Mazdaspeed show off some of the toys that they have been working on, which include a hot new Mazda2 and a sporty MX-5 Miata with an Italian flair.   Mazda Turbo2        Mazda Turbo2    The shining example in Mazda&amp;#039;s booth at SEMA was the Mazda Turbo2. Mazda&amp;#039;s performance division, Mazdaspeed, took the tiny economy-minded Mazda2 and made it a sporty stylish race car for the streets. The biggest tweak was performed under the hood. The stock engine has been replaced with the turbo powerplant from the Mazdaspeed3. The Mazdaspeed Turbo2&amp;#039;s MZR engine produces 263 bhp and a whopping 280 lb.-ft. of torque, making the lightweight car a virtual road rocket. The suspension has been improved as well, with a HR coilover kit that should drastically improve the car&amp;#039;s handling.   Mazda MX-5 Spyder        Mazda MX-5 Spyder    Also present was the Mazda MX-5 Spyder, a simple Japanese design with some added Italian flair. The slick soft top was designed by Magna Car Top Systems of America and Mazda. Although no engine modifications have been performed, the engine is now fueled by isobutanol, a biofuel that doesn&amp;#039;t negatively impact performance but is compatible with existing technology and infrastructure. The car is considerably lighter than stock\u2014thanks to the new top and a lightweight lithium-ion battery\u2014so we can expect quicker 0-60 mph times. The suspension has also been upgraded by with Mazdaspeed&amp;#039;s coilover kit. No word if Mazda will actually build it. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
