Mazda MX-5 V 2027 - Prj. NG (Spy)

sono solo mezzi commenti di dirigenti di Mazda Europe, ma secondo loro la NG non è imminente e che potrebbe anche non avere il 2.5 ma un aggiornamento dei motori attuali con ibridazione 😵

The MX-5 is especially fun, lightweight and affordable. If one of those three aspects is not there, then it is not an MX-5.

The ND generation is now twelve years old and it is still a perfect car. So, yeah, how do you make that better? That's hard. In 2024 we did a project where we started to look at what the possibilities are for the MX-5 NE. There's nothing stuck yet, but I'm sure that car will come and that there will be some form of electrical support in it. Mild hybrid will be the least. As I said, the MX-5 is the soul of the company. As you know, they are a bit crazy in Hiroshima, so there is something interesting coming out of that. But that will take a few more years.

The easiest way to reduce emissions from the MX-5 is to use synthetic fuels. That's actually the short answer. If you look at the technical reality, you can continue to use the existing fuel engine with synthetic, CO2-neutral fuel without having to change the entire concept of the car.

We try to continue with the current engines for as long as possible and optimize them in such a way that they comply with future regulations. That means technical adjustments, improvements in combustion, exhaust aftertreatment and efficiency. Whether that will be sufficient depends on how strict the final regulation becomes. But our starting point is clear: keep what is good and improve where necessary.
