Against the rest of the two seaters class

Nothing EPA files under Two Seaters starts lighter than the MX-5's 2,348 lbs, and 23 of the 24 are heavier; the class median is 3,384 lbs.

How the figure moved since 2015

The lightest 2015 record is 2,524 lbs; the lightest 2026 record is 2,348 lbs — 176 lbs lighter (7.0%).

At the top of the range the 2026 file reaches 2,465 lbs against 2,632 lbs in 2015, a 167 lbs reduction — driven by which configurations exist, not by the same truck gaining mass.

Front and rear axle loads

At 53/47, the 2,348 lbs puts about 1,244 lbs on the front axle and 1,104 lbs on the rear — 140 lbs more over the front wheels, which is what front tires and front brake pads wear against first.

The two axles are not the same width either: 59.4 in of track at the front against 59.8 in at the rear, 0.4 in narrower in front.
