On the Chicago Motor Show, Mazda MX-5 Accessories Concept unveiled. At the same time, it is now official that the 2.0-motorization is good for 155 hp and 200 Nm. That sounds frugal, at a time when the blown horsepower to the ears fly.

For the launch on the MX-5 we have to have somewhere to be after this summer, where we are already the 1.5 and maybe 2.0, which, however, is primarily intended for the American market. In terms of dimensions, went to Mazda back to basics, these 4th generation MX-5 is even a little shorter than the first ever Roadster from Hiroshima.

Such a small light car can, of course, with less power, but the question is Mazda the car is not a bit of shortchanging by him in the strongest trim 155 American hp’s, (in Europe that would be 165 hp to come out). When the Toyota GT86 was already gemorreld about what little power, and which has 200 horses. On the other hand, the previous MX-5 2.0 had 160 hp, and was heavier. In addition, it is also about how you use the ability on the road, on a twisty mountain road, this will Mazda still handsome long can join.

Everything stands or falls with the way in which equity is issued, so for a real judgment, we will ‘m self drive. If you go to the spirit of the Japanese engineers look you will agree this is hopeful, and who are per se more grunt wants to, can always have a supercharger on the cube (let) screws. Or just a Civic Type R to buy, of course.

The above-mentioned Accessories Concept features an aero kit, Brembo’s, BBS messages, and a bagagerekje.
