MX-5 MIATA 1.8 (140 HP) RWD

About the MX-5 Miata 1.8 (140 Hp) RWD

The NB's 1.8 gained variable intake timing and 140 hp — the most power a naturally aspirated Miata had made to date. The chassis was stiffer, the steering was sharper, and the six-speed gearbox on later models made highway driving tolerable. The NB is the driver's Miata — less personality than the pop-up NA, more precision.
