Specialty Equipment Marketing Association Show & Mazda

Have you heard of the Specialty Equipment Marketing Association Show?

Mazda put on quite the impressive show at the 2016 Specialty Equipment Marketing Association Show in Las Vegas, NV last month!

 

 

 

SEMA

If you’re not familiar with the SEMA Show, it provides designers the chance to showcase their imaginations when it comes to new auto concepts. For Mazda, this year was no different! They offered two concepts this year with the MX-5 Miata Speedster Evolution and the MX-5 RF Kuro. The MX-5 Speedster Evolution is lighter and what they describe as “ruthlessly efficient”. The MX-5 RF Kuro is based upon the 2017 MX-5 retractable fastback that’s going on sale in the U.S. early next year.

MX-5 Speedster

The MX-5 Speedster made its entrance to the automotive world at the 2015 SEMA show. It’s Mazda’s recognition and appreciation of the lightweight and no-frills driving experience of the sports cars of the 1950s. It weighs in at just over 2,000 pounds and its weight reduction thrust its performance and heightened the open-air experience for which the roadster is known. The MX-5 Evolution sharpens Mazda’s performance history.

MX-5 RF Kuro

Meanwhile, in Mazda’s new concept, the MX-5 RF Kuro, they have adopted many of the technologies that are seen in the MX-5 Global Cup vehicles. However, these are packaged in a more street-focused manner. The MX-5 RF Kuro shares it adjustable suspension with the MX-5 Global racecar. It also shares its Brembo dual-piston front brake calipers. Both vehicles were built using parts that Mazda autocross and racecar drivers can purchase via MazdaMotorsports.com for their MX-5s.
