Mr. Thee Permpongpanth, Senior Vice President said, "Mazda is delighted to introduce the 4th generation of the New Mazda MX-5 which is developed to enhance driving pleasure with the Kinematic Posture Control (KPC), the technology unique to the New Mazda MX-5. It provides a more integrated and stable turning posture when cornering without adding even a single gram to the weight of the vehicle. The New Mazda MX-5' rear suspension is designed to generate an "anti-lift" force that pulls the vehicle's body down when the brakes are applied. KPC takes full advantage of the characteristics of this suspension and applies a slight brake to the inner rear wheel when cornering under conditions with high G-force, thereby suppressing roll and pulling the vehicle down to stabilize posture.
