Mazda MX Speedster turns a virtual concept into a real roadster
the open-top it's calling the MX Speedster will be available to order in 2023 and delivered at the end of next year.
Xenex begins by removing 250 pounds from the already featherweight Miata. That brings a car that was 2,360 pounds at its heaviest in 1997 down to 2,110 pounds, which was about the weight of the 1990 Miata. The pieces that make up the paint-ready fiberglass bodykit are engineered in such a way that,"We believe that the fit and finish of our fiberglass body panels and parts ... is such that a mechanically capable customer could assemble our re-body kit themselves.
Customers can massage performance with an upgraded header and cam for the stock engine, or jump into the MX Speedster S that bolts a Fast Forward supercharger to the 1.6- or 1.8-liter four-banger to put down from 160 to 190 horsepower at the wheels. The top-trim MX Speedster RS will be available with a 350-hpV8. To show off the extra grunty look, the RS comes with what Xenex calls"an IMSA-like front end" as well as tweaked lights and taillight treatment.
Order books will open in January. Prices are expected to be announced in February, but Xenex estimates the base and S kits — identical save badging — will cost around $10,000. The RS kit is expected to run around $12,000. The first car is expected to be finished on March 1, the same month that kits begin shipping. A 30% deposit secures an order, delivery takes about 60 days.
