"Cars can’t have biological parents, but it’s safe to say that Bob Hall is as close to being the father of the Mazda MX-5 Miata as a person can get. As an employee of Mazda’s American R&D department, Hall virtually single-handedly promoted the idea of a classically British sportscar to the Japanese company, appealing to their history of producing excellent sportscars. With the help of several sympathetic employees both stateside and in Japan, Hall got his wish, and Mazda approved production of the kind of car Hall wanted—a rear-drive, two-seat convertible with a peppy conventional inline piston engine (rather than the Wankel rotary that Mazda used in its higher-end RX-7). Devoid of the heavy gadgetry and gimmicks of sportscars of the time, the Miata debuted as an instant hit, and has gone on to be far and above the highest selling two-seat convertible ever produced. By 1994, the Miata received several upgrades, including better chassis bracing, an available limited-slip differential, and a new 1.8-liter DOHC engine. What didn’t change is the Mazda’s fun-to-drive factor, which recalls the classic roadster while providing a modern driving experience. The MX-5 Miata is also the foundation of a popular one-make series, Spec Miata, and a quick drive in the tiny but nimble Mazda will make it clear why it’s a favorite of drivers everywhere."—Official description[1]
The 1994 Mazda MX-5 Miata - abbreviated as "Mazda MX-5 '94" or "Mazda MX-5 Gen 1"[2] - is a rear-wheel drive roadster by Mazda.
It appears in Forza Motorsport 3 and all subsequent main series titles.
It also appears in Forza Customs as part of V5.0.
Synopsis[]
The 1994 MX-5 Miata was a major model update of the original MX-5 Miata. Its most notable change was the introduction of a bigger engine with increased power and torque. 1994 also marked the debut of the R Package, which added a series of factory performance parts and removed several comfort features to save weight.[3]
Although the 1994 MX-5 has gained 120 lb (54 kg) in weight when compared to the 1990 MX-5, it was revised with a stiffened chassis that improves the car's torsional rigidity by 10%. This was implemented by complementing its updated rear subframe brace from the 1992 model with a front subframe brace and cockpit brace that connects both seatbelt towers. As its predecessor was prone to brake fade, the 1994 MX-5 also received larger brake discs.[3]
The 1.8 liter engine produces 128 hp (95 kW) at 6500 rpm and 110 ft·lb (149 N·m) at 5000 rpm. Its 7000 rpm redline remained unchanged,[4] although it can rev higher than 7600 rpm in Forza Motorsport 7. The 1994 MX-5 reuses the five-speed manual transmission from its predecessor, but was also the first MX-5 with an optional Torsen limited-slip differential.
The NA MX-5 continued production until 1997, and was replaced in 1999 by the NB MX-5.
