Mazda MX-3
The Mazda MX-3's V6 engine belonged to the Mazda K-series, which were used in a range of Mazda vehicles. These engines use a Variable Length Intake Manifold (VLIM), in order to provide optimal torque using intake resonance. Mazda called their system on the MX-3 the "Variable Resonance Induction System" (VRIS). This engine had a 7,000 rpm redline, and a 7,800 rpm fuel cut off.
For the rear suspension Mazda used its proprietary Twin-Trapezoidal Link (TTL) technology. Delivering benefits associated with active four-wheel steering systems, while lighter and less mechanically complicated, twin-Trapezoidal Link technology has been used on a range of other Mazda vehicles before and since the MX-3.
