The next-generation Mazda6 sedan is scheduled to be released in January 2013; the coupe version, if produced, will go on sale a year later in 2014. Aside from having two fewer doors, the Mazda 6 Coupe will essentially the same as its sedan counterpart, utilizing the same SkyActiv engines and transmissions. Mazda is looking to move the 6 nameplate up-market with the latest iteration of the car, and that will be reflected in the coupe's intended rival – the Audi A5. The Mazda6 coupe will presumably be offered with the standard car's drivetrains, but Mazda is also said to be working on a high-performance version of the car, not unlike the previous MazdaSpeed6. A 260 horsepower turbocharged 2.0L is tipped for duty in the performance model, with all-wheel drive a distinct possibility. If the Mazda6 coupe ultimately comes to fruition, look for it to land in dealer showrooms sometime in 2014.
