--All-new CX-7 gets a boost for 2006 SEMA Show�
LAS VEGAS, Nevada, October 31, 2006 � Blurring the lines between a sport-utility vehicle and a sports car, at the Specialty Equipment Market Association�s (SEMA) annual show here, Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) today unveiled a more powerful, more aggressive CX-7 SUV, code-named Adrenaline. Designed and built by Mazda Design North America in Irvine, Calif., Adrenaline is a truly high-performance sport-crossover vehicle designed to promote the essence of all Mazdas, best described as the �Emotion of Motion.�
Based on the all-new Mazda CX-7, Adrenaline is a fully running prototype that showcases Mazda�s commitment to performance. �Adrenaline is athletically inspired for people who demand a car that is as lean and fit as they are and represents their passions, yet doesn�t sacrifice in hauling those passions around,� said Franz von Holzhausen, design director, MNAO. �Adrenaline is tuned like an avid cyclist, and delivers on the promise.�
To give Mazda�s latest crossover SUV a true sports car feel, Mazda engineers converted the CX-7�s stock six-speed automatic transmission to a six-speed manual, and, as CX-7 shares its driveline with MAZDASPEED6, they naturally chose to use the same transmission found in the MAZDASPEED6.With the help of rallyist and drifter Rhys Millen and his team in Huntington Beach, Calif., Adrenaline pushes out more than 300 horsepower, thanks to a re-tuned engine with a modified intake system, header with a free-flow exhaust and more boost from the re-plumped turbo. Other performance enhancements include a remote oil cooler and repositioned intercooler located opposite the oil cooler in the front fascia.
