Mazda MX-5 GT Concept to Debut at Goodwood Festival of Speed



This year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed is taking place this weekend in the UK and is bound to be exciting, especially knowing that Mazda will be showing off the Mazda MX-5 GT Concept that will be taking part in the hillclimb in the ‘First Glance’ category.

Mazda will be looking to receive customer and public feedback regarding the concept and if all goes well, the MX-5 GT Concept could very well hit the production line. The MX-5 GT Concept is powered by a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated Mazda petrol engine that produces 153kW of power compared to a standard MX-5’s 118kW, so it’s raunchy.  It can reach a top speed of 257km/h and clock 100km/h in only 3 seconds.

Some of the enhancements include a front carbon-fibre splitter, rear diffuser and boot spoiler for aerodynamic efficiency. A sports exhaust system is also fitted with a central dual tailpipe. The suspension system has been beefed up for better handling and can be adjusted according to varying conditions. Recaro race seats offer comfort while negotiating the road ahead.

Would you like to see this Mazda MX-5 GT go into production?
