About the MX-5 Miata 1.6 (116 Hp) RWD
The original Miata engine — the B6-ZE 1.6-liter twin-cam four. 116 hp at 6,500 RPM in a car weighing 940 kg. The power-to-weight ratio of a sports car, the running costs of an econobox. Pop-up headlights, a short-throw five-speed, and double-wishbone suspension on all four corners. This is the purest Miata — the lightest, the simplest, and the one that proved the concept. Everything after this was refinement. This was the revolution.
