Thank you for excepting me. I believe to have a very unique car in my possession.
I own a 2001 Mazda Protege MP3. This car seems to have spent time at Allen Park Test Laboratory in Michigan, more recently known as Ford EMDO (Engine Manufacturing Development Operations), a prototype-only facility used for the production of engine prototypes for Ford, Jaguar, and Mazda. My MP3 has what appears to be, a 2003 Mazdaspeed Turbo engine under the hood. Therefore I believe this car was is a one-off and part of the company's Mazdaspeed Protege production development. I am wondering if anybody knows the history behind this car or about such a project. Please see photos attached.
