La mecánica del 1er modelo (el mx-5) es un motor 2,5L V6 de powertrain (vamos el V6 de MG-Rover que montan los MG Rover, y tambien el Freelander).Os pongo una noticia de MG-Rover.org:"Powertrain Ltd Powers Sir Richard Branson To Another World RecordOn a perfect English summers day the English entrepreneur broke the world record for driving across the English Channel. Driving the unique Gibbs Aquada amphibious car, Sir Richard Branson, smashed the record that has been held by the French for over 40 years. The Gibbs Aquada is the first product from Gibbs Technologies an English company with its engineering and manufacturing base in the heart of England. To power this unique vehicle Gibbs selected the Birmingham based Powertrain Ltd's KV6 2.5 litre six-cylinder engine to complete a winning English team. Fraser Welford-Winton managing director Powertrain Ltd, said "On the day after the England France football result it is great to see England win back another automobile World record. Our KV6 engine has consistently demonstrated its power and reliability in on track motorsport and off road 4x4's but this time it has done it in even more extreme conditions". The KV6 petrol engine is also used in off road vehicles, motorsport racing saloons and on road executive cars. The K4 petrol engine is used in off road vehicles, Lotus, MG and Caterham sports cars, and other road cars and even in small hovercraft."Saludos RoverizadosLa fecha de la noticia es Tue, Jun 15th 2004y podeis buscarla en https://www.mg-rover.org/
