Facelifted MX-5 now available

Both the soft-top & the world's fastest retractable hard top Roadster Coupe sport a fresh design that manages to lower aerodynamic drag to 0.38 Cd (soft-top) and 0.36 Cd (Roadster Coupe).

Chassis modifications ensure that all models deliver an evolution of Mazda’s unique [I]Jinba Ittai[/I] – oneness between car and driver – by further enhancing the Mazda MX-5's legendary agility and handling. The 2.0i engines have been fine tuned, which resulted in significant reductions in CO2 and fuel consumption

The sportscar thrills of driving the Mazda MX-5 2.0i with a manual transmission is further enhanced by the higher rev-limit (+ 500rpm) to 7,500rpm and retuning the engine to develop peak power (160ps) at 7,000rpm (+ 300rpm).

Models with the six-speed gearbox also have their engines fitted with a new Induction Sound Enhancer (ISE), which gives the power unit an even more exciting sound. Click on the following URL to experience the [I]Jinba Ittai[/I] driving through the sound of the newly developed sound enhancer:
