2011-2012 Mazda MX-5 Rendering, the car will be lighter and get new SKY G engine
According to Inside Line, the 2011 MX-5 Miata will shrink in size a bit with an expected curb weight of just 2,200 pounds. That low weight should pay big dynamic dividends and boost efficiency, but the big news on that front will be an all-new engine.
Powering the next-gen Miata will reportedly be either a 1.3-liter or 1.5-liter version of the four-cylinder SKY-G engine (G as in gasoline) that Mazda showed off earlier this year at the Tokyo Motor Show. With an expected 150 horsepower, the current model’s power-to-weight ratio would remain intact, and Mazda predicts the downsized 1.3-liter will return up to 50 miles per gallon in the little sportscar. but According to Inside Line, they are not certain if that new engine but they assume that the power of bigger engine unit will push out 150hp. Many experts have been trying to understand how the Miata could offer these amazing fuel results, but Mazda are keeping tight lipped.
the New Mazda MX-5 will hit market in June 2011 in Japan
