With a touch of nostalgia, Mazda displays a legendary concept along with its new car exhibit during the ’09 Chicago Auto Show. The Miata M Speedster is the raciest MX-5-derived concept built to date. The Miata M Speedster was originally unveiled at the 1994 Monterey Historic Races at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
Key design and engineering cues, including a low-cut, pillar-less windshield, modified suspension and lowered ride height, modified rear wing and spoiler, sculpted rockers, and flared fenders. Large fog lights are integrated into the front fascia. Sculpted, hard tonneau-style headrests, with storage for two body-colored racing helmets, complete the exterior design. Modifications include upgraded brakes, 15-in. wheels and a supercharger that boosts power to over 200 hp.
