Mazda MX-5 GT Race Car Unveils

-Mazda MX-5 GT entry into Britcar MSA British Endurance Championship 2011
-Lightweight Mazda MX-5 GT race car to challenge conventional thinking
-Mazda MX-5 GT remains true to its roots but with more power and performance











Mazda is set to challenge Aston Martin, Porsche, Lotus, and BMW on the race track with its lightweight Mazda MX-5 GT entry in the Britcar MSA British Endurance Championship 2011.

Weighing in at just 850kg, the Mazda MX-5 GT race car will accelerate from 0-to-60mph in just three seconds and hit a top speed of 160mph.  The build of the car has been an engineering challenge to get the weight as low as possible using Mazda’s gram strategy as the inspiration. Jota Sport examined every nut and bolt to reduce component weight and then match the power to the weight to give the lightest and most powerful MX-5 ever built.
