Yusho Edition - New MX5 NC prototype from Germany

Will, the Yusho Edition, really be in production? This version, seems a perfect mix of the best upgrade components for the MX5 NC...
Spec should be:

- Kit supercharger Flying Miata with 241hp, 274 Nm @5400rpm
- FGR 4.1
- Toyo Tyres on 8Jx17 wheels (Motec Nitro ?)
- Matt White Paint
- Recaro Seats
- Bilstein Shocks/Eibach Springs with bigger sways

Will it remain only a prototype like the Super20, or it can really become a production model?

Swiss MX5 NC Le Mans 55 - Limited Edition

The MX-5 ’55 Le Mans’ is named after the Mazda 787B No.55. Driven by Johnny Herbert, Volker Weidler, and Bertrand Gachot, the 787B No.55 won the 24-hours of Le Mans in 1991 claiming the first ever victory for a Japanese automobile and the rotary engine in the famed endurance race. The limited production version of the MX-5 was created exclusively for the Swiss market and it is based on the 160HP 2.0-liter model with the 6-speed manual gearbox. It is equipped with a limited slip differential (LSD), a Bilstein sports suspension, a front strut bar and 10-spoke alloy wheels. It is available in four exterior colors with contrasting profile stripes that extend to the bumpers. The bespoke ‘55 Le Mans’ logos and a numbered plaque in the interior round off the limited changes over the standard model.

IMHO, the orange stripes looks good but the car is exactly the same being sold everywhere, no special accessiores or other special things, only a "special" stripe as you can see in this pics... But the one in the first two pics is AMAZING! With only the original rims painted in orange, the car change her look radically, and this LeMans Limited Edition become an MX5 with a strong character.

My compliments to the Miata.net user (Chimaera), from Switzerland, who customize this limited edition, in a really nice MX5.

MX5 GT 2011 - Timelaps Build

MX5 GT Race Car 2011

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.
