The Mazda MX-5 GT Concept has been inspired by Mazda's podium-winning MX-5 GT race program and its debut at Goodwood is to test customer reaction to a high-performance version of the iconic sports car. The suspension has been uprated to improve handling and is adjustable for different track conditions, aerodynamic assistance comes from a carbon front splitter, a rear diffuser, and a boot spoiler. The exhaust note has been enhanced with a sports exhaust system with a central tailpipe.

"This year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed we have a number of significant cars on the stand and contesting the hillclimb," said Jeremy Thomson, Managing Director, Mazda UK. "The MX-5 has been our best known car for 22 years and with the GT4 and GT Concept on show, we are demonstrating that this car can compete with the more expensive race and performance cars but still remain true to its roots of affordable motoring with a strong focus on the driving experience.
"The Mazda Takeri gives a clear guide as to how the next Mazda6 will look. It will be the second car to use Mazda's new SKYACTIV technology following on from the Mazda CX-5 which we launched in May. SKYACTIV technology reduces vehicle weight, improves fuel consumption and reduces CO2, it takes our cars into the realm of environmentally friendly emissions but with no compromise on the fun to drive attributes that are typical of our brand.
"So come over and say hello during the weekend, we are also giving away a limited number of Le Mans books to visitors to the stand each day - so visit early."
