Certo che nonostante i 16cv in meno, è più veloce di 3 secondi... Un abisso.
Non solo:

One of the biggest misconceptions about the new MX-5 is that it’s slow. Reading the spec sheet and seeing it has a new engine making only 155 hp, I can see where that train of thinking comes from. The 2015 MX-5 made 167 hp, after all. But don’t be fooled, the 2016 is the fastest MX-5 in a straight line ever. Yes, even faster than the fabled turbocharged Mazdaspeed Miata.


To prove it, I raced the 2016 MX-5 against not one, but two 2015 models. Besides a Grand Touring PRHT, we also had a 2015 MX-5 Sport with the five-speed manual and soft top.
This was the lightest way to get a MX-5 in 2015. Tipping the scales at 2,480 lbs., it features a 14.85 lbs per horsepower power to weight ratio, which is better than the new car’s 15.05 lbs per horsepower ratio. But that stat didn’t matter. With an extra eight pound feet of torque and a far more responsive engine, the 2016 MX-5 pulled away from both of the older cars in repeated heads-up drag races.

Infine:

It appears that, yes, with the manufacturer’s fourth release, Mazda has quite possibly made the best MX-5 Miata to date. Those of you worried this may be the high water mark and it’s all downhill from here, remember, The Who’s next two albums were Who’s Next and Quadrophenia. If it continues down this path, the MX-5 Miata has a bright future ahead of it.

No via mi vien da piangere... Ora vorrei vedere (e li cercherò) i tempi dei competitors...
