What this mod does

The Mazda MX-5 NE is a fifth-generation concept of Mazda’s roadster created by iballobar13 for Assetto Corsa. It started as a master’s degree project to design a facelift: the front end is new, the rear gets a small integrated spoiler and the body grows about 135 mm in length, 15 mm in width and 75 mm in wheelbase, with only about 15 kg more.

Included versions

  • NE 1.5: base version with an evolved 143 hp SKYACTIV-G 1.5.
  • NE 2.0: bigger wheels and tires and a 197 hp SKYACTIV-G 2.0.
  • NE R-EV: electrified variant with the MX-30’s rotary generator engine, an 18 kWh battery and a 170 hp electric motor.
  • Supercharged 2.0: added in version 1.1.

The suspension geometry doesn’t change, but the setup was adapted to the new weight and dimensions, and each engine has its own tuning.

Version and compatibility

Version 1.2.2, from October 23, 2026, adds the missing pedal animations; 1.2.1 fixed the tire temperature table and tweaked the force feedback. The author tested it with CSP 0.2.11 with no incompatibilities. In the thread the author explains that the 3D model is new, built from scratch, and not a reworked ND. The same author releases the GT4 and RallyGT versions separately.
