Sources say that it’s lighter, cleaner and just as much fun to drive and the brand new MX 5 has almost arrived.
It’s been announced that the grille has been modelled on the original car’s oval shape, and the headlights have been given a distinct up slanting teardrop like shape.
Apparently the shrunk proportions of the vehicle are identical to the 1989 car and the goal for the chief engineer, Nobuhiro Yamamoto was to lighten and downsize the model however manage to maintain the current cabin space.
An insider revealed that there was much restyling done to finish the vehicle with a kerbweight of around 950kg, and that has been achieved thanks to the weight efficient new skyactiv chassis, powertrain and body, and as a result, the new six-speed MX-5 will have a 1.5-litre Skyactiv-G engine offering around 125bhp and with fuel economy of about 55mpg.
The car is thought to go on sale in autumn of 2012 and will make its debut at the Geneva Motor show in March – MSG Cars customers are able to get car finance for bad credit on all new or used models of Mazda including the MX-5 range so please get in touch with your requirements.
