Forza 2 players Drive the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata on Xbox One

Mazda is letting Forza Horizon 2 players drive the all-new 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata on Xbox One months before the physical car goes on sale late this summer. Just download the Forza Horizon 2 Mazda MX-5 Car Pack for free, and then explore the car inside and out through Forza Horizon 2's stunning graphics.

You can drive the car during the day, at night, and with different in-game weather conditions. The Forza Horizon 2 Mazda Car Pack also has the 2010 MX-5 Super20 SEMA concept car, the 1990 MX-5, and the 2005 Mazdaspeed MX-5. In Horizon 2, you can take exotic road trips with other auto enthusiasts and drive a wide range of classic and luxury cars.

You can win a real 2016 MX-5 before they arrive in dealerships with the Time Trials Rivals Contest. It starts on Tuesday, March 17, and it ends on Thursday, April 30. To enter, log into Xbox Live with your Xbox One console and navigate to the Games, Music, Movies or Apps channel. Then, click on a Mazda MX-5 ad and follow the prompts to register for the contest. With the Forza Horizon 2 Mazda MX-5 Car Pack, drive the 2016 Mazda MX-5 in Rival Mode on the Sisteron Perimeter Sprint Track in the Mazda MX-5 Challenge. The two drivers with the fastest times can go to L.A. in June for a special winner-take-all race.

According to Guinness World Records, the Mazda MX-5 is the world's best-selling two-seat roadster, and it recently had its 25th anniversary. This new 2016 MX-5 is the most sophisticated and digital yet, and it's still a throwback to everything that made the original 1990 car so special. It's lighter and smaller, and it incorporates Mazda's full suite of Skyactiv fuel efficiency technologies to get about 22 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway.

The 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata is redesigned from the ground up, with a more curved, muscular look. A lower hood height yields improved visibility, and the A-pillars next to the windshield have been moved back on the body to minimize wind impact. The seats recline more, and they're lower for more headroom. The canvas top can be raised and lowered from inside with one hand, and it has an aluminum panel for sound attenuation.

This small, quick roadster is easy and fun to handle, especially on curvy roads. A six-speed manual transmission is still standard, and an automatic transmission is optional. The car will have 17-inch wheels with larger brakes for more stopping power. An infotainment screen with optional navigation sits above the center console, and small bins behind the seats provide convenient storage. The MX-5's rich, luxurious interior makes it seem much more sophisticated, and expensive.
