The next-generation Mazda MX-5 and the Alfa Romeo Spider will get the same platform, but each company will provide its own engine roadster. In this case, the Mazda MX-5 can suddenly turn into a diesel sports car. As long as Mazda considered the most likely candidate for the role of engine for the next MX-5 is the newest "aspirated" volume of 1.6 liters. It is expected that it will develop around 130 hp Living in the country of the rising sun stubbornly trying to distance itself from the possibility of the use of turbocharging, arguing that the roadster will retain "atmospheric" character, even with the change of generations. But fans of more power in the Mazda can offer larger engine.
In Alfa Romeo does not want to be so fundamentally - their modification of the same will be the turbo Roadster. While we are talking about the use of 1.4-liter turbo 1.4-liter, but it is possible that the Alfa Romeo Spider in the future and get a perfectly well-known 1.8-liter engine is a family of Multi Air. It Siim engine is equipped with a mid-engined Alfa Romeo 4C. According to the portal Autocar, Alfa Romeo Spider will have several variations of the power from 120 to 300 hp
The two-seat roadster will provide 6-speed gearbox, both mechanical and automatic. Interestingly, in the Mazda seriously and looking at the ability to install on the MX-5 diesel engine family SkyActiv, but in this we have a few ideas of trivial defects. Diesel roadster may scare conservative buyers.
In addition, the diesel is somewhat heavier than gasoline "atmospheric engine", and expect to keep the ambitious Mazda Roadster weight between 800 kg and same dimensions. Siim clearly explained and the relatively low power of the gasoline engine, which is expected to be installed on the Japanese roadster.
Vague explanation about diesel engines! Thanks a lot!!
