MX-5 GT at Goodwood

Mazda want feedback...Some feedback? Build it, they will come! Looks all the world like the SEMA Super 20 Concept.

Ah, they must have time overruns on bringing the ND to market so they need to extend the model life of the old tub. They should call this the SE2 here.

0-100 in 3 sec ? How much BHP does it have and how little does it weigh?

I think you'll find they're talking about the GT4 racecar which apparently weighs less than 1000kg and puts out 315hp/235kW. Using this formula (which includes a driver and passenger in tested times), the GT4 ought to be around 4.1s for 0-100km/hr. However, it has a sequential racing gearbox which would shave a few tenths, so it's probably more like 3.8s. So yes technically, it seems capable of a 0-100km/hr time that starts with a 3! :wink: Would need around 400kW or less weight to get close to 3.0s.

Would be nice to see this and the force inducted concept doing the rounds released, would do the mx-5 good to have a bit of interested injected.. It's been fundamentally the same car for 7 years now..

Cool formula too, but does the formula take into account a nice set of sticky slicks? A bit of time in that too..

My bad if this has already been posted, but I could get used to that exhaust note

aughghg ! Those drums were giving me the sh*ts, I was trying to listen to the exhaust note.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
