Mazda tuner BBR has
launched more aftermarket upgrades for the MX-5. Available for the 2019MY car
onwards, they lift the output of the 2.0-liter SkyActiv-G engine, creating a
more engaging driving experience. The first package is called the Super 200. It
adds the tuner’s cold air intake system, stainless steel exhaust manifold,
K&N air filter and StarChip ECU remap, lifting the output by more than 18
PS and 14 Nm of torque, to 202 PS and 224 Nm of torque.
Pricing starts from
£ 1,245 without tax for the self-install package, destined for
export markets. BBR can also convert the MX-5 at their Brackley headquarters,
in the UK, for £ 1,445, tax excluded.
The Super 220
package is a tad pricier, at £ 2,235 and £ 2,895 without tax, but it makes the petrol-burner more powerful. With
the addition of the Super 200’s mechanical components and high-performance camshafts,
valve springs and retainers, the peak output has been measured at 221 PS during internal testing, and torque at 217+ Nm, using
99-octane gasoline. Both packages have a 12- to 36-month extendable warranty.
BBR also has other
upgrades in store for this popular Japanese roadster, like the 2.5-inch center
exhaust section with a choice of rear silencers, for the Super 200 and Super
220 upgrades, which add a few more horses to the package, and the 4 into 1 high
flow, tuned length stainless steel exhaust manifold that incorporates a
performance catalytic converter.
