More Mazda, this time from north of the border. While Malaysians are getting ready to welcome the locally-assembled Mazda 3 CKD (with pretty attractive prices and specs) and the arrival of the hatchback bodystyle, our friends in Thailand are getting a limited-edition Mazda 3 Racing Series.
Nothing more than a teaser for the upcoming Mazda 3 MPS, so it’s just cosmetics in and out – the 3’s Skyactiv-G 2.0 litre engine and six-speed auto remains. Available as sedan or hatchback, the Racing Series introduces a bodykit that includes a front lip, side skirts and rear bumper extension.
The add-ons, which amplify the 3’s already sporty outlook, are painted in black, which contrasts nicely with the Racing Series’ extra cost Snowflake White Pearl and Soul Red colours. Our “Sport Lim” would approve.
In addition, the sedan gets a slim boot lid spoiler while the five-door gets one on the hatch, in black. Ditto the door mirror caps. To match the dark theme, the Mazda’s 18-inch alloys come in Gun Metallic. And who can miss those stickers, although they are more subtle than those seen on the Bangkok 2014 Mazda 3 showcar, which also had a red pinstripe around its bodykit.
Inside, black leather seats get red inserts on the bolsters, red stitching and ‘Racing’ logos on the front headrests. There’s also a red ‘Racing’ emblem on the left edge of the gloss black dashboard trim.
The Mazda 3 Racing Series sedan/hatchback is priced at 968,000 baht (RM108,831) for the Snowflake White Pearl colour and 973,000 baht (RM109,325) for Mazda’s signature Soul Red hue. Inspired?

OMG. Everything is about Mazda now. Today I sent in my application to be a bra and panties promoter in Parkson. I hope I get it. Cannot survive being a Toyota salesman and coming here badmouthing Korean cars anymore. People now know my modus operandi.
I have just left Toyota. Cannot survive in Toyota with sales so bad. I cannot join kimchi also because I have bad mouth kimchi so long now out of jealousy.
I have now joined Parkson as bra and panties promoter. Anybody want Wacoal, Sorella, Skiva, Bee Dees, Triumph, I can give good discounts.
Please guys in this forum, forgive me for all my bad writings and bad condemnation of kimchi cars. I am truly sorry. Kimchi cars are actually quite good, I admit.
I now look forward to my new career as an undergarments promoter. Please wish me well. Infact, Same Lorr and Sam Loo and also Sam Loo (ori1) is soon joining me also to sell panties and bra. Please wish us well

Nice, but how about Mazdaspeed 3 or Mazda 3 MPS rather than racing edition?
hahahha….so childish naming it Racing.
Please Mazda, name your next model as Mazda Rocket, then the next one will be Mazda F1 Champion.
