A common criticism of the Mazda MX-5 is its relative lack of power. So Britain-based tuner BBR has worked its magic on the naturally aspirated 2,0-litre engine to give it a little bit more of an edge.
Thanks to some ECU tuning; a high-performance billet steel intake and exhaust camshafts with upgraded valve springs and retainers; a bespoke four-into-one stainless steel exhaust manifold; and a specially developed cold air intake system; BBR was able to push the MX-5’s power output to 153 kW and 244 N.m.
With this increase of 35 kW, the already-lightweight roadster will be able to sprint from 0-100 km/h in 5,65 seconds.
Handling has also been revised, with the fitment of the tuning house’s optional pack, which includes Koni adjustable dampers, Eibach adjustable anti-roll bars and a Willwood four-piston front brake caliper upgrade to make it sharper and more agile in the corners.
BBR is also offering peace of mind with 12- to 36-month extendable warranty packages.
Prices for these packages start from £2195 (around R41 000), excluding VAT…
