See the MX5 Concept Tackle the Goodwood Hill

I wouldn’t mind one of those… and the car isn’t bad either!

Mazda brought the MX5 GT Concept to last weekend’s Goodwood Festival of Speed for a little sprint up the hill. With 205 horsepower on tap thanks to new cams and a revised throttle body, the concept has exactly what MX5 buyers have been clamouring for all these years: more power! Mazda handed the keys over to Jade Pavely, an endurance driver with the company for the run, and she had no trouble keeping the convertible right side up and between the hay bales on her way toward the finish line.

We could certainly think of less entertaining ways to get around the course, Mazda didn’t mention how long it takes the machine to get from start to finish, but we doubt the company was out to set any records. This little exercise had more to do with putting eyeballs on that blaze-orange paint and testing the waters for a possible production version.
