Hagerty | The Driver’s Seat with Henry Catchpole. The Joy of Driving Supercharged Mazda MX-5 Adventure.
What a breath of fresh air! In this episode, Henry Catchpole drives a supercharged Mazda MX-5 from renowned tuners BBR GTi. Proving that fast fun can still be affordable in this age of mega-expensive hypercars and restomods, Hagerty heads to some incredible roads in Wales that suit the little Mazda perfectly.
Producing 250 bhp and 220 lb ft of torque, the Stage 2 Supercharger kit makes a palpable difference to the ND generation Mazda, dropping the 0-100 km/h time to 5.1 seconds. This particular car also has a suspension upgrade with Koni dampers, new O.Z. Ultraleggera wheels and a bigger brake kit.
The end result is a fabulous enhancement of everything that makes the standard MX-5 great. It still feels nicely useable (the way it fits so neatly on these narrow roads is a case in point), the linearity of the power delivery is maintained and the gearshift remains a delight at any speed, but when you find the right situation you have performance that feels in a very different league.
We also look at the reasons driving with the roof down can actually be good for you. A study (albeit with a fairly small sample size) carried out at Cranfield University in association with FIAT has put some numbers to the fluctuations in things like happiness and stress when you drive with the top down. The results seems conclusive - especially when delivered by someone wearing a Tweed waistcoat and a spotty bowtie.
