Mazda has announced a few tweaks to its MX-5, and the headline news is this: the range-topping engine gets more power. Though, this is no Overnight Parts From Japan special a-la Fast and Furious, but a wee tweak to keep things spicy. The SkyActiv-G petrol 2.0-litre four-pot has had its rev limit raised to 7,500rpm up from 6,800rpm while power rises from 158bhp to 182bhp. Torque too, sees a whisper of an increase: 5lb ft more, to 151lb ft. Mazda assures us this revised unit has also been "acoustically tuned". Good.
