a page on the Chicago Auto Show’s official website says the 2016 MX-5 will produce 155 horsepower from its 2.0-litre SkyActiv four-cylinder engine. However, according to Autoblog, Mazda “isn’t sure where they got that number.”
I bet they got that number from Mazda, it's the power rating for the current SkyActiv 2.0 in the 3.
I would be surprised if they aren't able to get at least current NC Miata level of 167hp out of an updated or Miata-specific SkyActiv 2.0.
They really should drop a retuned-for-high-end-power 2.5 in there though as an option. It would be fantastic to have a reasonably-priced minimalist 240hp 2400-lb sports car on the market...
