The Mazda MX-5 range is about to welcome a new
member, the Z-Sport, a special edition of the popular roadster that's limited
to just 300 units.
Created exclusively for the UK market, the open-top
model will go on sale on March 1, priced from £2 5,595 (US$ 34,312). It will then
try to lure customers away from the competition with its Machine Grey Metallic
paint, Deep Cherry Red fabric roof and 17-inch black BBS rims.
The numbered Z-Sport plaque on the
dashboard, Sand Leather seats, Z-Sport floor mats and scuff plates round up the
list of novelties inside.
Since the limited edition car builds upon
the Sport Nav grade, it also gets LED headlights, keyless entry, climate
control, navigation system, DAB radio, Bilstein dampers, strut brace, and a
limited slip differential
There's nothing special about its power unit though,
as the 2.0-liter engine, rated at 160 PS and 200 Nm of torque,
is the sole choice. Getting from 0 to 100 km/h takes 7.3 seconds, while
the top speed is rated at 214 km/h.
