Other exhibits will include "Circuit Trial" versions of the new Axela, RX-8, Demio (Mazda2) and Atenza (Mazda6) and six customized versions of the new Biante minivan, which went on sale earlier this year.It goes without saying that the most attention-grabbing models are the Circuit Trial versions that have been developed by Mazdaspeed.
