Mazda is preparing a “charged” MX-5: first official photo

The Japanese brand shared a photo of a sports car performed by Spirit Racing. There are no technical details, but the appearance will change point by point: engineers will modify the body kit with side skirt extensions, an original front splitter and a compact spoiler. The brake calipers will also change, adding to the image of the stickers. A feature of the “charged” Mazda MX-5 will be six-spoke black wheels.

The unusual Mazda MX-5 was spotted at the Nürburgring, which means that the Spirit Racing option will not be limited to the exterior decor. Specialists can offer an upgraded suspension and even a boosted engine. However, the increase in efficiency of the 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine is doubtful due to environmental standards, and significant improvements cannot be expected from the 1.5-liter naturally aspirated unit.

Mazda’s new flagship has been unveiled – the three-row crossover CX-90. Production of the Mazda6 successor has been increased to meet demand. Toyota crossovers have begun to be painted in Mazda’s signature color: here’s why

The Mazda Spirit Racing factory team is participating in local competitions in Japan, and the special MX-5 will be the first experience with a mass-produced road car. Full details are expected at the Tokyo Motor Show on January 10; There, the company will show the Mazda3 and Roadster CNF racing concept cars, as well as the CX-5 crossover, created together with Toyo tire makers.

The future of Mazda’s electric vehicles is closely tied to Chinese partner Changan. In the Middle Kingdom, sales of the successor to the Mazda6 were successfully launched: demand exceeded expectations, and the plant had to increase production volumes. Mazda’s next electrified new product will be a crossover, also created according to Changan patterns.
