Further Details on the MX-5 Superlight Concept

As indicated, the key word in mind is light. Mazda got rid of the unnecessary, such as the windshield and roof, resulting in a loss of nearly 100 kg for a grand total of 995 kg on the scale.

The engine and gear box are taken from the standard version without modification, and the 1.8-litre block still provides 125 hp.

Thanks to its weight loss, the MX-5 Superlight Concept registers 0 to 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds in comparison to the roadster’s typical 9.9 seconds. The shell is better reinforced for better handling.

It’s hard to imagine the MX-5 Superlight actually being seen on the streets, though we can always dream. In the meantime, it will be revealed to the public at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
