When Mazda introduced the current-generation MX-5 Miata for 2016, it instantly became the quickest Miata ever. At the time, it wasn't the most powerful MX-5 Mazda had ever sold, but it was extremely lightweight. It remains feathery for 2019 while adopting a host of engine revisions that bump the 2.0-liter engine's peak horsepower from 155 to 181, while torque rises by 3 lb-ft to 151. The Miata's zero-to-60-mph time, as a result, shrinks by 0.1 second, to 5.7 seconds in a Miata equipped with the six-speed manual transmission.
