MX5 GT is powered by Mazda’s 2.0L Duratec engine modified to produce 275bhp. With a 6-speed sequential paddle shift gearbox, carbon doors, Polycarbonate windows, and a total weight of 850Kg, the car take the 0-100 Km/h in just about 3.0 seconds, really amazing. Top speed= 257km/h (160Mph).
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 MX5 NC2 ever built. Jota Sport, the race engineering team that will run the cars in the 2011 series, took 400 hours to build the shell to a specification that ensured it was 17 times stronger than required by the FIA.
The Mazda MX-5 GT car, prepared by Tunbridge Wells based Jota Sport features the mandatory FIA approved safety equipment including a roll cage, race seats and harness, external electric cut-off and fire extinguisher, safety catches on the bonnet and boot lids, competition steering wheel and alloy wheels, while the running gear, rear axle, gearbox and engine have been modified to enhance performance.
