Mazda Makes MX-5 Even Lighter for SEMA With Spyder, Speedster Concepts
Mazda is teasing possible new variants of its small sports car, both of which will be on display at the upcoming SEMA show.
For the MX-5 Spyder, the brand tried to include the character of the vintage roadster mixed with modern day design. Inside, the Spyder includes a leather interior while the car is finished with a new Mercury Silver paint color.
The Speedster takes the lightweight MX-5 and strips off even more pounds, forgoing every part that is unnecessary, including ditching a windshield in favor of a small deflector.
Mazda didn’t divulge specific weights, though the brand did say that both of these concepts will be “significantly lighter” than the the 2,332-lb curb weight of the MX-5.
