Mazda Adds Lightness with MX-5 Superlight

Mazda’s Miata/MX-5 is the ultimate in sporting driving. Simple, cheap, and fun it’s the best reincarnation of the original post-war sports cars. Sure, it’s performance isn’t about to set the world of fire, but it’s definitely enjoyable.

And for many drivers, that enjoyment comes from the Miata’s emphasis on simplicity and lightness. So, to celebrate the roadster’s 20th birthday, Mazda is showing a unique concept car: the MX-5 Superlight version. A pure show car, it takes the lightweight technology that Mazda is famous for to a new level, improving driving performance, handling, fuel economy and CO2 emissions. This is combined with a radical exterior design requiring no windshield, and sporty chassis settings for pure roadster driving fun.
