Playboy sponsors an MX-5 race team, and the production vehicle’s agility and responsiveness to the road reflects that track heritage. Don’t be misled by the raw stats on the MX-5’s 2.0 liter engine (four cylinders, 166 horsepower, 140 lb-ft of torque). With a lightweight aluminum hood and engine, the MX-5 barely cracks 2,400 lbs, so it’s plenty fun on twisty roads or tooling along the highway. Just don’t show up on Pinks racing any real sports car, or you’ll be handing over the keys.
