Underneath the suspension has been stiffened and features adjustability for track days while externally MX-5 fans will note a carbon front splitter, rear diffuser, boot spoiler and cenytral tailpipe for the modified sports exhaust system.
Inside are Recaro sports seats, some lightweight carbon fibre trim and body-colour roll hoops behind the seats.
