Up for a no reserve auction is a rare factory turbocharged Miata with low original mileage. About 5000 of these vehicles were manufactured in 2004 and 2005 as the swan song of the NB series Mazda Miata. Highly sought after, these vehicles included 6 speed manual transmissions, a limited slip differential and a unique to the model suspension configuration. While the standard Miata had a mere 142HP, these turbocharged models featured 178HP - and significantly more torque thanks to the turbocharger.

This particular Miata was upgraded by the Dealer Alternative facility in New Jersey when it was new. According to Bill Cardell, his 'Little Enchilada' package of parts increases the rear wheel horsepower by about 50. This engine output increase finally allows for power oversteer to be achieved in a Miata. This car is a blast to drive! With stock interior, exterior and suspension, the car is a real sleeper - while retaining all of the handling prowess of the original Miata from which it was derived!

This model's Bose stereo system, with its rear mounted and amplified speakers, allows the radio to be heard clearly with the top down - which is the way that this car was intended to be enjoyed! This is not my first Miata, nor is it likely to be my last. They're great cars that are as reliable as anything ever manufactured. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this car anywhere at a moments notice. The oil and all maintenance has been performed regularly. If you wish to come see the car in advance of the auction's close, I welcome your inspection. The car is in great condition and it has a long life ahead of it with an owner that will enjoy it at least as much as I have!

Mazda details diesel prototype at Daytona test

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

Diesel has without a doubt become the dominant fuel in the modern era of endurance racing. The 24 Hours of Le Mans has been won under diesel power for the past eight years running, as has every race in the FIA World Endurance Championship since its inauguration in 2012. Yet there will only be one diesel prototype entered in the top tier of the new Tudor United SportsCar Championship this year, and it belongs to Mazda.
The last Japanese manufacturer to win at Le Mans outright, Mazda has been gradually working its way back up the endurance racing ladder once again, following the example set by Audi with diesel power. Last year it campaigned a competition-spec Mazda6 Skyactiv-D in the GX class of the Grand-Am series, but rather than simply port over the existing racer into the new series, it's fielding a new prototype instead, just as it promised a couple of months ago. And now that prototype has hit the track for the first time, prompting Mazda to release its basic specs for the first time.
Tentatively referred to simply as the 2014 Mazda Prototype, the purpose-built racecar is testing this weekend in the Roar Before the 24, the official test session at Daytona that kicks off the racing season. It packs a 2.2-liter SkyActiv-D engine that's based heavily on the production version but tuned to produce 450 horsepower and 580 pound-feet of torque in race trim. Power is channeled through a six-speed sequential transmission from Xtrac, carbon brakes from AP and 18-inch racing slicks from Continental. With the Daytona-spec aero setup, it'll top out at around 186 miles per hour.

Mazda MX-5 Miata to spawn coupe, Mazda6 to get quick successive updates

Thu, 28 Aug 2014

Despite the PRHT's availability, some are still yearning for a proper fixed-head coupe.
We are just days away from the official unveiling of the next-generation 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata on September 3, and it's fair to say that the mouths of enthusiasts are watering in anticipation for the latest version of this iconic roadster. Hard facts about the new droptop aren't easy to find, and in the absence of further disclosure from Mazda officials, the rumormill is in full swing, including word that a long-awaited hardtop coupe model will figure into the new generation's plans.

Mazda CX-5 in auto-brake accident on Japanese test drive

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

As we slowly march towards a world where our cars will drive for us, there will be mishaps. Systems will act up, not behave has intended or we'll simply forget to turn them on. We all remember when Volvo tested the S60's City Safety system. Now Mazda has had an issue of its own.
During a test of a Mazda CX-5's Smart City Brake Support on a dealership lot in Japan, a prospective customer and a dealership employee were injured when they hit a urethane barrier used for testing the system. According to Bloomberg, which spoke with the Saitama Prefectural Police, the impact with the barrier left the customer with an injured neck while the dealership employee suffered a fractured arm. Considering the injuries, we imagine this wasn't a small barrier.
"For any safety function, it's impossible to be 100-percent free of accidents. These technical functions aren't always the easiest to understand," IHS Automotive auto parts analyst, Hiroshi Ataka told Bloomberg.
