The MX-5 Miata Cup Race car, will compete in a new global single-make Miata racing series.
Mazda hasn't yet revealed the car's final specifications, but performance enhancing upgrades to the exhaust, suspension, intake, and brakes to today's Miata look likely.
The MX-5 Miata Cup car will use a 2.0-litre four cylinder engine which will be locked to prevent any internal tampering and a six speed manual transmission. It is expected to weigh about the same as the roadgoing Miata around 2300 pounds.
The MX-5 Cup Race Car will cost less than $50,000 with all the upgrades so that the owners won't have to spend more time and money to add the performance kits.
The car will be fitted with a full roll cage and fire-suppression system.
A passenger seat will be optional while air condtioning will not be available. A roof and windows arent included.
Final power figures and exact specs for the 2016 MX-5 Miata Cup car will be out soon.
