Mazda MX-5 Superlight makes Frankfurt debut

Another day of the Frankfurt Motor Show means a whole slew of previously unannounced vehicles. The latest of such vehicles is the above pictured Mazda MX-5 Superlight.

As you can probably tell by the title, this car is super light, weighing in at just 2,193. And, thanks to its low weight Mazda was able to squeeze a fuel efficient 4 cylinder 1.8-liter engine capable of 126 hp into the MX-5 coupled with a 5 speed manual transmission. Of course, with such a low weight you’re going to have to sacrifice some luxuries namely, the windshield. But it’s the novelty that counts, right?

Unfortunately for you daring drivers out there, the chances we will ever see the MX-5 Superlight enter production remain slim to none until Mazda tells us otherwise.
