More Mazda MX-5 Superlight Concept: 2,193 Lbs Of Stripped-Out Awesome
Specification | Reviews | Photos | Latest Price
We practically fell over in spasms of awesome-induced joy when we saw the first renderings of the Mazda MX-5 Superlight Concept. Now we've got a whole slew of photos of the 995 Kg stripped-down, carbon fiber and cold-filtered sports car.
So Mazda decided to blow our minds by transforming the fun Mazda Miata into an awesome, purpose-built, speedster in the form of the MX-5 Superlight Concept. It'll debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and when it does, it'll show off one of the purest interpretations of the car in the nameplate's history. What takes the Superlight from "pretty neat" to "spectacularly unbelievable" is the detailing. Instead of just taking bits off, it's what Mazda added in terms of attention to detail which makes it so cool. The roll hoops have integrated high mount brake lights. The carbon fiber dash elements hold real toggle switches — even the shift knob's been sliced down to reduce weight but boasts better styling. Forget the other supercars debuting at Frankfurt, we want the Miata. Be sure to check out the massive 54 image gallery and until we get complete details, satisfy yourself with the bare specs:
