Mike Whiddett asked TCP Magic in Japan with building a special Mazda3 hatchback called “Bullet” for racing at Pikes Peak 2023. They swapped the factory inline-four for a twin-turbo 2.6 L “26B” four-rotor. The motor made 1400 hp thanks to two Garrett G40-1150 turbochargers. TCP Magic also converts the car to RWD using a Hollinger six-speed sequential transmission, custom carbon fiber driveshaft, and Winters quick-change rear end. The car rides on KW adjustable coilovers with Endless disc brakes. Mike recently added a new livery on the Mazda3 thanks to a Mobile 1 sponsorship. The pair toured Greece and put on a show in the video below.
