SEMA 2008: Mazda Turns the New Mazda6 into a Race Car

Mazda has teamed up with Troy Lee Designs to bring a wild, prism-painted Mazda6 race car to the SEMA show this year. The paint is by PPG and the body modifications come from Funktion USA. MOMO provided the 18-inch wheels, Hoosier donated a set of rubber, Wilwood Engineering threw in a set of brakes, and Eibach completed the package with suspension modifications. DG Motorsports also customized a 6 for Mazda, but we haven't been able to track down photos. If you see a new Mazda6 with 19-inch Volk wheels sitting in the convention center, you let us know.
