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?
