Time Micro Mazda MX5 HKS Livery TM646912
The Mazda MX‑5, affectionately known as the Miata, has spent decades captivating driving enthusiasts with its breezy, lightweight roadster formula. When the Japanese performance‑tuning powerhouse HKS slipped its iconic livery onto the MX‑5’s sleek canvas, the result was a visual and emotional coup that fused the Miata’s pure‑driving spirit with HKS’s racing pedigree. The “HKS Livery” MX‑5 bursts onto the scene draped in HKS’s signature teal‑blue and graphite‑black palette, accented by bold orange racing stripes that trace the car’s flowing lines from the front splitter to the rear diffuser. Subtle carbon‑fiber graphics echo the aerodynamic components that HKS fitted to the chassis—an enlarged front splitter, a vented rear deck, and a set of lightweight 17‑inch forged wheels wrapped in low‑profile performance tires.
Beyond the aesthetics, the HKS‑styled MX‑5 is a showcase of engineering finesse. HKS’s performance kit upgrades the naturally aspirated 2.0‑liter SKYACTIV‑G engine with a high‑flow intake, a sport‑tuned exhaust, and a revised ECU map, coaxing an extra 15 horsepower and a noticeable torque bump in the mid‑range, all while preserving the Miata’s legendary rev‑happiness. The suspension receives a fully adjustable coil‑over setup, complete with stiffer anti‑roll bars and a retuned anti‑squat geometry that translates the car’s nimble chassis into razor‑sharp cornering performance.
