Ma femme, oui



Dans ceux là tu pourras pas ils sont complètement ouverts

c'est la première fois que je la vois avec le volant à gauche

Pour s'amuser le 10 octobre, on relèvera le numéro de châssis, mais je ne sais pas si les pré-séries comme celle-ci sont numérotées pareil.

Donc plus ma voiture a de trous, moins elle pese et mieux c'est. CQFD

Speaking at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, Nobuhiro Yamamoto, programme manager for the Mazda MX-5, said there was no desire to push the two-seater sports car upmarket to compete with premium models like the Porsche Boxster or more focused cars such as the Lotus Elise.

He said: “There are five tenets for the MX-5. It must be rear-wheel drive and front-engined, compact and lightweight, have a 50:50 weight distribution, have a precise feel and be affordable.

“It’s very easy to use expensive materials, but it would not be in line with our customers’ expectations. [It would not be] affordable, which limits the scope of our customers to those who are very wealthy. It’s not the way the MX-5 should head."

Mazda MX-5: new engines to outperform old units
Although no powertrain details have been revealed, bosses say the 1.5-litre unit will be joined by a naturally-aspirated 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. Thanks to a combination of reduced weight – the new car weighs around 1,050kg – and increased power, both the 1.5 and 2.0-litre models will outperform the 1.8 and 2.0-litre engines found in the current car.

The new MX-5 will use an electric power-steering set-up for the first time. But in order to limit the relative lack of feel over a hydraulic system, the new car sees the power-steering mechanism mounted on the steering rack rather than on the steering column. According to Yamamoto, this allows the driver to benefit from all-important torsional feedback. “We are placing extra emphasis on steering feel,” he said.
