The Mazda MX-5 Miata features the brand's naturally aspirated Skyactiv-G 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. It'll compete in the recently launched ST-Q class for special racing vehicles developed by manufacturers.
Racing has been one industry segment open to exploring alternative fuel technologies. Dacia will go racing in the 2025 Dakar Rally using synthetic fuel, and even Formula 1 will begin using the stuff in a few years.
Synthetic fuel has been a popular topic for automakers as of late, even as they continue to invest in battery-electric vehicles. The journey to carbon neutrality might require several avenues to succeed, and drop-in replacement fuels could be one solution.
Late last year, Porsche began developing e-fuel at its plant in Chile, but it'll be years before it can produce even a fraction of the amount of gas the world uses in a day.
