Curator’s note

The world’s best-selling two-seat roadster, light, simple and rear-driven.

The fourth-generation MX-5 is the lightest of the modern line, and the 2019 update lifted the 2.0-litre engine to 184 PS with a higher rev limit. It remains a pure front-engined, rear-drive roadster with a manual gearbox.

The story

Mazda MX-5

Mazda launched the ND MX-5 in 2015, shorter than any previous MX-5 and around 100 kg lighter than the NC it replaced.

For 2019 the 2.0-litre engine was reworked with lighter pistons and connecting rods, raising power from 160 PS to 184 PS and the rev limit to 7,500 rpm.
