Concieved as a weekend racer, but one that can function equally well as an urban commuter the Mazda 2Evil Special Concept was the Japanese firm"s answer to Ford"s sporty Fiesta RS concept - also shown at the LA event.
The body has been modified to show a more aggressive front spoiler and a deeper side rocker for improved aerodynamics and lower overall stance.Â
The rear upper spoiler was redesigned for both additional downforce and a race appearance while Ceramic Grey paintwork, complete with motorsports inspired graphics completes the look.
The graphics are finished off with the historic number 55, a tribute to the 1991 Le Mans-winning Mazda 787B race car.Â
Wheels, mirrors and other details are accented in Spirited Green. To top it off, the performance and stance are enhanced with 17ð€Ý wheels, 215/45/17 Yokahama Advan tires, lowered coil-over suspension provided by H&R and Magna performance exhaust.
