We've shown you the preview - now read our review of the supercharged, 250hp BBR MX-5 👌
It's not often a supercharged car makes it to the news. In fact, once the JLR 5.0-litre V8 has breathed its last, it's hard to think of any other new cars with superchargers out there - besides the Lotus Emira, of course, but it too is using an old engine. As both turbos and electrified powertrains have improved, so the requirement for a belt-driven 'charger has waned. Which is a bit of a shame, given they offer a different powertrain experience. But such is the way of the world.
Nevertheless, this remains a very rapid little Mazda, even when dawdling about waiting for everything to get up to temperature. Though less about torque than the turbo conversions, this BBR MX-5 immediately feels more muscular; limiting the car to 3,500rpm while it warms through doesn't feel a hardship, because there's so much more performance everywhere.
Handily, like so many tuned MX-5s, BBR's efforts broaden the inherent appeal of the car without fundamentally altering its character. It still responds dutifully to wringing out every gear, but also satisfies pulling fourth out of a village or overtaking confidently on an A-road. The feel of an MX-5 powertrain is undoubtedly retained, just with more oomph alongside a fine four-cylinder medley of a soundtrack. There really a bit of everything: it gurgles, rasps, screams, pops, and zings.
