Mazda Miata Mono-Posto exclusive Roadster Hot New Roadsters.
Don t open doors There are no windows or top with a single seat, you can not take passengers along a path and make things worse, it's not stereo Knowing these things we forced to ask what is so great about the Mazda Miata Mono-Posto roadster Concept.
If you are a lover of roadster, the answers are simple to start, you need to step over the door to get behind the wheel as if you are riding in a major sports car race cowboy feelings permeate your Cranking psyche August 1 liter four -cylinder engine begets a deep exhaust note Raise the engine speed, transmission with six speeds in the first place, installation of the accelerator to the floor, and dropped the clutch the supercharged engine roaring creates his own music intoxicating making the need for a non-existent stereo you feel the wind smack you hard in the face while you're in the nestled racing seat Sparco background behind the small side windows if the windshield well to need and a high you'll be begging for a full helmet.
When Mazda offered us an exclusive worldwide test drive behind the wheel of his new Mono-Posto Concept, we jumped at the chance Mono-Posto which means one seat is the fourth concept based on venerable Miata sports car Mazda following the 89 club Racer, M-95 M-96 Speedster and Coupe concepts Each concept was built on the platform Miata rear drive and current, including the chassis, engine and transmission Mono-Posto follows this format, sharing basis with the second generation Miata introduced in 1998 as a model 99.
Tom Matano, Executive designer of Mazda in charge of the overall design advanced, says Mono-Posto was inspired by the legendary cars like the Jaguar D-type and Lotus 11 is for the one who wants to be alone with the road, driven only on driving, Matano said, adding that he designed the miles and miles of fun roadster Praise the gods placed sunscreen.
To make the Mono-Posto better results than a generation Miata, Matano sought the help of some of the best business performance aftermarket The DOHC 16-valve has been massaged to pump 190 horsepower at 6100 rpm and 243 lb-ft of torque at 4100 rpm, an increase of 50 horsepower and 124 lb-ft of torque on stock most of this gain comes courtesy of HKS, who provided the great Mega intake system air, polished intake manifold and throttle body, turbocharger and intercooler, high fluid manifold and the exhaust system stainless steel exhaust, HKS super fire spark plugs iridium and Vitek 8 son of spark ignition 5 millimeters.
The dynamics of the car is stunning Despite some friction tires caused by the fall of suspension of 2-inch wide pipe tires, the car was great in corners and under hard acceleration Although Mazda wouldn t allow us to run tests instrumented his super-expensive concept, we believe that the Mono-Posto would sprint 0-60 mph in about 6 seconds flat, a good 1 of 5 seconds faster than a stock Miata handling is improved compared to a stock Miata through the suspension system HKS Hyper Damper, DAZZ Racing Hart C5 wheels 18 inches to 8 inches wide, front and 9 5 inches wide, rear and Pirelli 225 35ZR18 before and 255 30ZR18, rear braking capacity was also strong, due to larger than stock Baer racing disc brakes at all four corners.
The body and interior are where the concept made its biggest starting production Miata Parts of the body does not share are the trunk lid, taillights and headlights Everything else, including the cover of the cockpit reducing the normal two places to a single-seater, was built specifically for this project and covered with red paint pearl Mica particularly nice touches include the functional air scoop on the hood, aluminum roll bar, Autometer gauges, Sparco F1-style wheel and mirror mounted hood.
When asked if any of the stylistic elements of Mono-Posto will be included in the next generation Miata when it debuted several years from now, Matano said that we can expect to see the grid, scoop hood and rear fascia transferred even if it may not be popular with the typical buyer Miata, we hoped he would say the small windshield is also in production.
Miata Mazda not only revived a segment thought dead - the affordable roadster - but he managed to crush the subsequent competition while wearing a goofy smile so amazed for the second generation car launched in 1999 there was no 1998 Mazda has kept close to the script, producing more of the same While the second generation car looks bigger, it rises on the same wheelbase of 89 inches 2.
