While the motoring world anxiously awaits replacements for the hot Mazda3 and 6 MPS models, the Japanese carmaker has prepared four new tuned concepts to whet our whistle at next week’s SEMA show in the US.

Teaser images released by Mazda confirm that both sedan and hatch versions of the new 3 have been fettled, while the two 6 show cars are both sedans.

All feature a ground-hugging stance with aftermarket wheels and unique decal packages, with all bar the white 6 featuring subtle body extensions and a front splitter.

The only hint of drivetrain details are the "CS6 Diesel" decals on the grey 6. The SkyActiv-D turbodiesel drivetrain is set to arrive statestide from mid-2014, so the concept is likely aimed at improving the fuel-type’s cool factor in the traditionally petrol-preferring US market.

Further details will have to wait until the Las Vegas aftermarket show opens on November 5.

Back when all cars burned fuel and couldn't drive themselves, Mal was curing boredom by scanning every car his parents' VB Commodore drove past. His childhood appreciation for the car world exploded during a three-year stint in the US, and serious questions were asked when he spent a good chunk of his uni career perfecting lap times at Wakefield Park. Mal got his big break scooping the VE II Commodore, before a stint at Overlander magazine and kicking off his online career with The Motor Report in its heyday. These days he's exactly the same height as Michael Schumacher and uses his powers for good at the helm of CarsGuide's editorial team. Mal proudly shuns brand allegiance and counts three young kids, an EH Holden, NA MX-5, KE20 Corolla, W116 Mercedes-Benz and the world's most versatile Toyota Echo among his personal stable. He also craves a Subaru Vortex, so get in touch if you know where to find one.
