Report: Mazda downplays high-performance variants of Miata MX-5 - eGMCarTech

Top Gear recently had a word with the man currently responsible for the Miata MX-5, manager Nobuhiro Yamamoto. In those bits of words exchanged, the magazine learned that Mazda has no desire to produce any high performance variants of the Miata MX-5, despite there being MazdaSpeed versions in the past. Additionally, Yamamoto said that a high-performance Miata would jack up the price too much, defeating the basic principle of the Miata’s simplified, cheap and low-cost concept.
