Mazda will unveil at the Frankfurt Motor Show the MX-5 Superlight concept, a model created to celebrate MX-5’s 20th anniversary. The Superlight concept is based on the facelifted roadster and comes with no windshield, retractable roof and frame.  The MX-5 Superlight was built in an attempt to improve 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. The MX-5 Superlight is powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder that delivers 126 hp and 123 lb-ft of torque and is equipped with a Mazdaspeed cold-air intake and exhaust. Thanks to its low weight: 2,194 lbs, the car sprints from 0 to 60 mph in 8.9 seconds. Technical specifications after the jump. Body Type : Roadster Monocoque
Engine: MZR 1.8-litre petrol 5 comments: Mazda MX-5 Superlight AK47 (1027) Posted on 09.14.2009 Well, the MR series were great cars. Both are equally fun but there is something really fun about a lightweight vehicle with a front engine and rear wheel drive. Its just simple driving pleasure. The MR also delivers great driving pleasure but it does that in a different way. Its about preference. I would choose an MR if I wanted to modify it. However I would choose the Miata(MX-5, not this joke) if I wanted to keep it stock.  Uncia (867) Posted on 09.13.2009 I don’t see why people buy Miatas when you can get a used 00-05 MR2 Spyder and throw in all of the TRD upgrades and rare Japan-spec accessories for the same price. The MR-S is just as fast and fun but more fuel-efficient and reliable. Not to mention the cheaper insurance.
AK47 (1027) Posted on 09.12.2009 Mazda ruined a good car with this childish concept. 8.9 seconds is what hybrids do. For a vehicle this light, the fuel consumption is nothing to brag about.
