Mazda’s model range isn’t exactly filled with tens of hot new cars like BMW’s M division, so for this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Japanese automaker had to make something different.
What they chose to do is to create a racing MX-5 for the road, which will assault the hillclimb circuit at Goodwood with its powerful engine and stiff setup.

The MX-5 GT is a production-intent concept built by Jota Sport on the hardtop version of the car. It features carbon fiber aerodynamic enhancements, like a front chin spoiler, a rear diffuser, boot lip spoiler, as well as wheelarch extensions. Inside, Jota fitted Recaro seats as well as a number of carbon fiber accents.

Under the bonnet is a 2.0-liter normally aspirated engine that has been boosted from 161 PS to a very inspiring 208 PS.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
