Zero to 60 is nothing without 60 to zero.
Every driver knows that when it comes to a sports car, slowing
down is just as important as speeding up. The MX-5’s ultra-
responsive 4-wheel disc brakes with lightweight calipers come
standard with anti-lock brakes and Electronic Brakeforce
Distribution, ensuring linear fade-resistant stopping power
whether you’re on the track or on the road.
Speed is nothing without control.
The MX-5’s 50:50 front-to-rear weight distribution is crucial to its legendary handling. Its
front-midship-engine placement and rear-wheel-drive layout enhance balance and directional
control. Helping to keep the MX-5 firmly anchored to the pavement is a track-tuned suspension
that delivers superb handling and directional stability by combining a sophisticated double-
wishbone layout up front with an advanced multilink setup in the rear. A hollow front stabilizer
bar is partnered with four gas-charged shock absorbers and a solid rear stabilizer bar to
minimize body roll and maximize cornering grip. Manual transmission models come equipped
with a torque-sensing limited-slip differential, and all models come equipped with Dynamic
Stability Control* with an integral Traction Control System that optimizes both traction and
handling in less than ideal road conditions. The result: handling that borders on telepathic.

When a vehicle is perfectly balanced, even the smallest variation
can have a huge impact. To keep the MX-5 perfectly balanced
on the road required taking into account every weight-bearing
variable—down to the stitching in the upholstery—and then
obsessively engineering 12 distinct sets of precisely calibrated
springs to balance out even the smallest change in weight. Finely
tuned to account for the finest of details, each individual
MX-5 is precisely engineered to create the perfect balance of
stiffness for control, softness for comfort and stability for al l
those twists and turns the road has in store.
