What is the Mazda MX-5 2.0 (ND2) 0-60 time?

The Mazda MX-5 2.0 (ND2) reaches 60 mph in 6.00 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,253rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Mazda MX-5 2.0 (ND2) quarter mile time?

14.49 s at 95.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.34 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.22 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Mazda MX-5 2.0 (ND2) have?

181 bhp and 1,045 kg, which is 173 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 233 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Mazda MX-5 2.0 (ND2)?

Closest here on pace: MINI Roadster JCW (6.06 s), Lotus Elise 111S Mk I (5.89 s), MINI Coupé John Cooper Works (5.86 s). Each one can be raced against the Mazda MX-5 2.0 (ND2) in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

Are these real measured times?

No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Mazda MX-5 2.0 (ND2) is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the MX-5 2.0 (ND2)

The 2019 Mazda MX-5 2.0 (ND2) is a rear-drive naturally aspirated roadster of 1,045 kg with 181 bhp, which works out at 173 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 173 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.22 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,253rd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 12th quickest of the 201 Mazdas here. Its 95.1 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.
