2006 NY Auto Show
The MX-5 Miata is all-new, sharing not a single component with the car it replaces, with significant key updates, including: a body structure that uses new materials and technologies to trim weight, improve crashworthiness, and increase rigidity.
Six versions of the new MX-5 Miata will be offered: the Club Spec, standard MX-5, Touring, Sport and Grand Touring. For the very first time from launch, Mazda also will offer 750 Limited special versions of the MX-5.
Maximum power is 170 horsepower at 6,700 rpm. For good tractability and ease-of-driving, at least 90 percent of peak torque (140 lb-ft) is available from 2,500 rpm to the 6,700 rpm redline.
Standard equipment is a close-ratio five-speed manual transmission, and a new six-speed manual gearbox is available, with gear ratios close-stacked to enhance the joy of sporty driving.
