Mazda’s MX-5 program manager - Nobuhiro Yamamoto – confirmed this to Top Gear at the Goodwood festival of speed.
According to the magazine, he stated:
"It's important not to get hung up on numbers, not on power, or torque. No, what is more important is the feeling. The driving experience and feeling is more important than power."
So, that’s that. The current MX-5 generation will be “stuck” with the 1.5-litre, 129 Hp unit and the friskier 2.0-litre, 158 HP variant.
This does open up the possibility of Fiat offering something different - an Abarth version >
