Mazda MX-5 gets a dynamic tuning pack from Autoexe

Mazda-MX5-5

This was bound to happen. Ever since the Mazda MX-5 programme manager, Nobuhiro Yamamoto, said that the new roadster is all about the driving experience and not about getting hung up on power and torque, there was a sneaking suspicion that someone or something would buck this trend pretty soon.

Autoexe, a Japanese tuning house has gleefully stepped in to offer a range of decent upgrades to make the MX-5 even more dynamic. The performance-oriented pack aims to respect and stay true to the vehicle’s core character and vision, that is to be lightweight and fun to drive.

The pack includes Kajima-SPEC street sport suspension parts, developed after the ‘dynamic engineering’ philosophy of Kajima Takao (one of the main engineers responsible for the NC generation), strut bars, floor cross bar and a member brace frame to stiffen and reinforce the car’s chassis.

In terms of the engine, an air filter that has a 13 to 15% reduction in air resistance can be ordered, as well as a sports oil filter and a new centre dual muffler with a low-exhaust pressure design. The restyled front and rear aprons, a font under-spoiler, LED daytime running lights, trunk spoiler and rear diffuser completes the package. The Volk forged wheels add a nice touch too.

Currently, the new MX-5 can be ordered with a choice of two power plants, with either a 1.5 litre 129 hp or 2.0 litre 158 hp variant up for grabs. Autoexe has not revealed the specific numbers of the power gain as for now, but on looks alone, this one’s a sure winner.

    They have to maintain normal aspiration to get that linear power delivery. So no turbos here. But if the engine bay permits, maybe a bigger engine might help.
