2016 Mazda MX-5 Horsepower Leaked

According to Khabar Khodro, horsepower numbers for the new 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata might have just leaked. 

According to a Chicago Auto Show webpage, the new car’s 2.0-liter SkyActiv four-cylinder engine is going to make 155 hp. The information was reported by Autoblog, but appears to have been removed from the Chicago Auto Show’s website. A Mazda spokesperson was not willing to confirm or deny the number’s accuracy to Autoblog, saying that they “aren’t sure where they got that number.”

If it is accurate, the new car will make 12 less horsepower than the current MX-5, though the 2016 model’s weight loss will give it a better power-to-weight ratio than the current MX-5.

Previous reports have indicated that the new MX-5 will be getting the same engine 2.0-liter engine as the Mazda3, which puts out 155 hp and 150 lb-ft of torque.
