A. The MX-5 Miata features a near perfect 50:50
weight distribution, front to rear (including driver),
to enhance the car’s stability and directional response.
At speed, this feature also pays dividends in the form
of impressive agility and predictable, well-balanced
handling. B. By positioning more of the MX-5 Miata’s
mass—including powertrain, fuel tank and battery—
closer to the car’s center line, Mazda engineers created
an advantageous lower yaw-inertia moment. The result
is a sports-car design that’s remarkably nimble and far
more responsive to a change in direction.

It’s all about engineering
a more exhilarating experience.
When it comes to instantaneously translating your thoughts into meaningful motion, the Mazda MX-5 Miata has few equals. And no
wonder. For starters, it’s gifted with a front-midship-engine layout to promote more responsive directional control. Plus a power-assisted
rack-and-pinion steering system that’s so quick, precise and predictable that it’s nearly telepathic. Out back, the MX-5 Miata also
features a sophisticated multilink rear suspension, complemented by gas-filled shocks, to enhance rear-wheel traction—especially when
cornering. Up front, you’ll find an advanced double-wishbone front suspension with aluminum alloy control arms and a hollow stabilizer
bar to help deliver rapid directional response and tenacious handling. Consistently linear, fade-resistant stops are also a priority—thanks
to power-assisted 4-wheel disc brakes that feature massive 11.4-inch ventilated front discs. Graded on the most severe curve, the MX-5
Miata rewards even the most discerning driving enthusiast. With a smile-inducing freedom that’s impossible to measure. With a nearly
intuitive responsiveness that’s impossible to ignore. And with fun-to-drive dynamics that are impossible to forget.
