The easiest way to distinguish the third-generation MX-5 is the huge wheel arches. The new Mazda MX-5 is based on the experience of previous generations. The design of the car has been created very carefully, combining old traditions and modernity. The car has become even bigger, now it has even more equipment (traction, stability control), but weight has been saved in every part of the car. Suspension changed - crossbars at the front, multi-lever at the rear. The most powerful engine is the new 16-valve 2.0 L I4 with 166 hp (124 kW) and 190 Nm of torque. From 0-100 km / h the car reaches in 7.9 s. The car can also be equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission with shift levers behind the steering wheel. The rear-wheel drive and ideal 50:50 weight distribution of the car provide fun driving - that's what this convertible is famous for. In 2006, Mazda also introduced a three-part hardtop convertible. This car weighed 36 kg.
