A proposito dell'altezza stock (esagerata) del corpo vettura della NC. Sulla rete ho scovato questo documento del club sudafricano:
https://mx5-sa.com.au/wp-content/uploads...ometry.pdf
In dettaglio:
"...*Standard being what you get in South Africa which is the same as Britton and Europe. The Mazda MX5 – NC was designed to have suspension 30 -35mm lower than what we have. At the time of the launch of the NC model the EU introduced new pedestrian safety regulations that stipulated minimum bumper and bonnet specifications. Without radical redesign Mazda was able to achieve these requirements by raising the height of the cars. This is why when you look at the broachers’ for the NC the wheels fit neatly into the wheel well space where as our cars have these large gaps between the top of the wheel and under side of the wheel arch..."
Insomma: la NC fu progettata "giusta" ma per adeguarla agli standard introdotti qualche anno dopo dovettero adattarla.
Qualcuno ha altri riscontri di questo genere? Sembra una cosa folle ma ho recentemente scoperto che anche le ultime Toyota MR2 (ZZW30) dal 2004 ebbero lo stesso trattamento (altezza aumentata di 25 mm).
