Mazda MX-5

Mazda MX-5 RF (Mazda MX-5 RF) is a rear-wheel drive roadster (targa type) of the “H1” class, RF – from Retractable Fastback. The presentation of the fourth generation of the MX-5 model took place at the New York Auto Show on March 22, 2016.

The main difference from its brother MX-5 is the roof. The MX-5 RF is a targa, that is, a roadster with a retractable roof panel and a power bar located behind the riders. In addition, it is possible to lower the rear window, which is located almost vertically. The engineers decided to divide the panel into two unequal sections, which helped maintain the same trunk volume – 130 liters. The roof folding time is 12 seconds, and it can be folded at speeds of up to 10 km/h.

From a technical point of view, the cars are almost identical. As with the “simple” roadster, the MX-5 RF offers a choice of two naturally aspirated engines of the Skyactiv-G family: a 1.5-liter produces 131 hp. s., while the 2-liter engine has a power of 160 hp. With.
