MERCURY MS.5 SALAMANDER

"MS.5" is a hatchback and sedan series developed and manufactured by Maiwa Automobile Industry, a Japanese fictitious automobile manufacturer, and sold under the "MERCURY" brand.

As the name suggests, Maiwa Automobile Industry is based in Maiwa, a fictitious city in Japan. A long time ago, as an independent automobile manufacturer, in-house development under the "COALER" brand was flourishing.
At one point, the business deteriorated due to the closure of a mine in Maiwa City, which is the base of the city, and the ruins of buildings in the city, and it became a subsidiary of Volkswagen (VW).

The "MERCURY" brand, which was born in this way, appeared because VW, which became the parent company of Maiwa's own company, transferred the usage rights related to the brand from the Ford side in partnership with Ford of the United States, and Maiwa Motor purchased the trademark right of the brand. It is said that it was done.


This "MS.5" is an abbreviation for "Mercury (= Maiwa) Standard-model 5", and "MU.4" posted the other day is also written as "Mercury (= Maiwa) Utility-model 4".



Returning to the story, this model uses the MQB platform of its parent company Volkswagen.
It is a sibling model such as "VW Golf 8" and "Audi A3".
Strongly young-oriented, "just right in size and ease of handling", "affordable price",
It is well-received as "safety is solid and yet it is fun to drive."



This high-performance model "Salamander" is a model jointly developed with Audi as a "rally monster that can run on public roads".
Based on the "MS.5 sedan," Audi's subsidiary Quattro GmbH has tuned it.

The power train installed is a unique tuned version of the 2.0L in-line 4-cylinder TFSI direct-injection gasoline turbo engine that is also installed in the "Audi S3."
The maximum output of the engine is an amazing maximum output of 465 horsepower / maximum torque of 47.8 kgm.

The transmission is Mizuki's 9-speed AT / MT, and the drive system is full-time 4WD.

The power performance is 0-100km / h acceleration in 3.88 seconds and maximum speed of 250km / h (limiter operation).

As shown in this performance and appearance, this model has "Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution XI" and "Subaru WRX STI" as its biggest rivals.
