Mazda has decided to increase production capacity of its new crossover, the Mazda CX-5, from 200,000 units to 240,000 units per year. Upgrades to the assembly line will enable an increase in SKYACTIV products. The move is made in response to strong demand for the CX-5 in countries all over the world.
On top of that, Mazda plans to double the annual production capacity of SKYACTIV Engines, meaning 800,000 of these efficient and powerful engines will be built per year.
The latest incarnation of Mazda’s MX-5 Miata has just hit the market in Japan as the 2013 Roadster. The refreshed two-seater open-top sports car is likely to migrate overseas in the near future, giving U.S. MX-5 fans something to anticipate.
The design of the upgraded MX-5 Miata distinguishes between the sporty character of the soft top and the refined character of the power retractable hard top through the use of coordinated black and silver features respectively. The front face of both versions has been redesigned to present a more aggressive look.
How does a Mazda MX-5 Miata with 205 horsepower, an upgraded suspension, a carbon fiber front splitter, and a rear diffuser and spoiler sound to you? It sounded pretty good to the attendees of the 2012 Goodwood Festival of Speed last weekend, zooming out of the dreams of car-lovers everywhere and on to the pavement.
Mazda just debuted its road-legal MX-5 GT Concept at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The Mazda MX-5 GT Concept was shown off throughout the festival on Mazda’s stand. It also conquered a hillclimb in the ‘First Glance’ category.
