Mazda Thinks 155 Ponies Are Enough to Power the Current Generation of Miatas-I

Miata CardinaleWay Mazda

Mazda had announced in 2015 that the new generation of Miatas it is looking to design, won’t come with turbocharged engines like the previous two generations. They would in fact focus on improving the driving experience. So, they would rather keep the power restricted to 155 bhp and try to make the car lighter. The engineers of Mazda have also conceded that they may not have the right technology to decrease the weight any further at this point in time but are relentlessly pursuing this dream in alignment with the original Miata philosophy. They want to build a roadster that is fun to drive. It should be peppy and zippy, not a muscle-flexing, fuel-spewing thug that goes about breaking necks and backs.

The 2016 4th generation MX-5 Miata is dimensionally similar to the 1st generation Miata produced for the first time in 1990. The exterior looks have changed slightly thanks to Mazda’s new Kodo design and has a comparatively more revamped cabin with modern technology and telematics. The car has a curb weight of 2313 pounds. Thanks to extensive use of light weight aluminum and magnesium throughout the body, this car is almost 231 pounds lighter than the last generation Miata. This is what aids the car to achieve an unbelievable power-to-weight ratio and is also one of the quickest cars around. It can hit 0 to 60 mph in just 5.9 seconds.
