"As an entry–level roadster, the Miata is tough to beat. Is fresh looking, its peppy, it takes to upgrading nicely and with the top down, it’s a mobile tanning bed. It’s no wonder the Miata is popular in amateur racing too -- it’s a blast to drive."—Official description (Forza Horizon)[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.
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.
