Mazda's upcoming Mazdaspeed3 may be even more powerful than initial rumors had claimed.

The sportier adaptation of the next-generation Mazda3 is now expected to deliver more than 300 horsepower, produced by a turbocharged 2.5-liter Skyactiv engine that will also be found in the redesigned CX-9 crossover, unnamed sources have told Automotive News.

The compact is expected to be distinguished by a unique fascia, body kit and wheels, with all-wheel-drive as a likely option.

Corroborating earlier leaks, the latest information suggests the Mazdaspeed3 will arrive on the market in the second half of 2016.

Looking at Mazda's broader lineup, the company is also said to be working on a sportier Mazda2 and a fastback-profile MX-5 Miata hardtop that will arrive a year after the open-air roadster.

Hot hatches are officially back! :drool:

Now if only they make more of 'em with AWD so we can Sega Rally through our winters.

Too much power on FWD. I'm more interested on the MX-5 fastback. :drool:

Considering all MS3 have come with an LSD before, I don't see why this one wouldn't unless it did go AWD...

I love the front end, a bit iffy on the "swoops" down the side.

From what I hear you need to see it in person.

The WRX is very pedestrian looking. This is the farthest thing from it. Perhaps you mistook the Subaru for a transportation appliance?
