MGB GT with a Mazda 2.0 L Inline-Four

Frontline Cars built this MGB GT “LE50” with a 2.0 L inline-four from a Mazda MX-5. The naturally aspirated motor produces 214-238 hp and 174-178 lb-ft of torque. Behind that is a Mazda six-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential. The modern powertrain lowers the car’s dry weight to 1060 kg (2336 lb) and a 49/51 bias. The coupe rides on a double wishbone front suspension and 5-link rear suspension. Braking is handled by four-piston calipers with 273 mm rotors in front and two-piston calipers with 265 mm rotors in back. Covering those are 15×6-inch aluminum wheels with Avon CR6ZZ tires (185/65).
