This car is one of a kind and there are not too many of MX-6 GTs left. Here is some more info for someone who doesn't know what this car has to offer. GT included all options from the LX, but also stepped up to the F2T 2.2L turbocharged, intercooled engine, which put out 145 hp (108 kW) and 190 lb·ft (258 N·m) of torque delivering a significant performance boost. It also had 4 wheel disc brakes with ABS as optional, and 3 way electronically adjustable suspension, dubbed AAS. In 1989, Mazda offered a special four wheel steering (commonly abbrieviated 4WS) option on MX-6 GTs destined for the U.S. This system consisted of an electronically controlled rear steering rack that turned the rear wheels opposite to the fronts at low speeds to improve cornering, and turned the rear wheels with the fronts at high speeds to improve highway lane change maneuvering. This option was available through all years for GT models in other markets. t was available on both generations, although the North American market only received it for the 1989 model year. South African MX-6s never received 4WS. According to Mazda, the system provided: Superior cornering stabilityImproved steering responsiveness and precisionHigh-speed straightline stabilityNotable improvement in rapid lane-changing maneuversSmaller turning radius and tight-space maneuverability at low vehicle speed range The system electronically controlled a rear rack that was behind the rear wheels. At low speeds (of up to 35 km/h), the rear wheels would move in the opposite direction to the front wheels, aiding parking and U-turns by lowering the turning circle. Above these speeds, the rear wheels would move in the same direction as the fronts, meaning control during high speed manoeuvres such as lane changes or cornering was improved. Either way, the turning angle of the rear wheels was slight at just five degrees, a measurement Mazda determined to be optimally effective and natural to human sensitivity. Note: When the engine is turned off, the rear wheels would straighten up. They would change back to the angle of the front wheels when the engine is restarted. This is caused by the 4WS control unit powering down, and the failsafe system overriding the rear rack.If the system ever faults, as a failsafe the rear wheels would lock straight to allow the vehicle normal 2WS functionality.
