Windshield? Not necessary, john. Weight savings, yo!

The segment ” throw and throw car for little money’. Yes, there is Mazda king. Since the late eighties, with the Japanese market of the fun, lightweight roadstertje. The new MX-5 is still not as crazy long on the market. However, could the Japanese carmaker at the with something creative to SEMA to come.

Mazda has two conceptmodellen taken to the American tuningsfeestje. The MX-5 Spyder and MX-5 Speedster. The Spyder is a, with the carbon-drenched, silver rascal. Thanks to the new elements in combination with the lighter 17-inch Yokohama wheels, the weight of the MX-5 1043 kg. A standard MX-5 with the 2.0 DOHC block weighs about 1057 kg. A small afvalkuur so.

The Speedster is what is more extreme and has a bigger make-over. The car is 3 cm lowered and stands on 16-inch RAYS. Also is missing the windshield. Thanks to a stiffer suspension, lighter Brembo brakes and some carbon stuff weighs the small cabriolet now 943 kg.

The two cars serve as the flagship of Mazda at the show in Las Vegas. The chance that this lightweight wingers ultimately in a reformed form of production available at the showroom is very small, and secretly still a bit unfortunate.
