A modded Mazda2 is the star of Matt Farah’s latest one-take video at the Angeles Forest. The Mazda2 in this video was only light tuned, with aftermarket parts that included new sway bars, lightweight wheels, an intake and exhaust. And at under 2,500 pounds, it’s a lightweight option for sure. You won’t even care its tiny naturally aspirated engine puts out 115 horsepower.

Imagine if you could add a ton of power to this thing. Maybe this is the best tuner platform no one knows about yet.
