Is much better if the parts are made in North America and I mean the Engine,or anything else,Mexicans are intelligent,And I see must of the hurtful comments are from people who live in south America, Don't be jealous at least they are doing something good,and not like you who spend your time hating on somebody else's progress.

¡Viva México! Long live Mexico!

How you dare to say there are no quality engineers in Mexico? I´m Méxican, lived for one and a half years in Germany, working for VW. Currently I´m working for General Electric P&W. I challenge you to talk about engineering.

I have a Mercedes C350 built in Mercedes-Benz factory on Toluca, Mexico. The quality is superior than any other cars built in Europe or Japan. Mexico's Car Industry nowdays is one of the best in the world. Cheers.

Definitely not bad at all for a first Sports car from Mexico. I actually like it. Finally the US wont be alone in the car competition from this continent. Norte Americana sports cars FTW.

wow this car is dope af

I don't care, export it here to Aussie land, I'll drive it

"it's only a 4 cylinder" There are many cars that are really fast with 4 cylinders.

This is a beautiful car with bad ass numbers. I wish they would take it and stretch it out and put a monster v8 in it with turbos strapped to it

¡Qué hermoso Mastretta MXT!, 100% diseñado y hecho en México.

aqui todos critican como si en realidad pudieran tener un mastretta, ferrari, lamborgini, etc!

The Mastretta MXT, first shown at the 2010 Paris Auto Show, uses a Ford 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged to make 250 hp. The company claims a 4.9-second sprint to 60 mph. Great style with an affordable price tag of $65,000

The car look awesome!!!

Looks alright will see what the future holds for the Mastretta

Buen inicio, para la proxima se ira evolucionando,, amen.

Al fin un comentario digno de leer!!!! VIVA MÉXICO!!! a hue...

I love this design,not so sure about the interior but the car looks nice

Para su primer carro, no esta mal.

my dream car

I like the design, very low center of gravity, looks like it hugs the turns and you gotta love the bov, I think it would be awesome If this brand takes off.

I want one! Quiero uno!

Nice look.

very nice design

Made in Mexico, I’m willing to bet that this car has unlimited sitting capacity.

Viva Mèxico.

this car is so awesome looking especially in black, hopefully this will be my next car first one in Houston. I know for less money I can get a Mustang Shelby GT500 but honestly Id rather have this , it just looks awesome like a batmobile.

Dude I agree. Sooner or later, were the next "italian". MFTW!: Mexican For The Win!

While I in some way agree with you about being original, the Elise's engine is made by Toyota. So I guess the engine isn't as crucial as we may thought!

I want one.

viva mexico

Hermoso carro maxico mexico

this is a cool car. all the right ingredients for a serious sports car. looks the biz, as well. i think the rear end could use a little more of something, but overall- nice.

Not bad for the first Mexican car. . I wanna test drive it. ..

That Duratec engine was designed by NEMAK in Monterrey, México. Ford had the exclusive rights until a few years ago.

MEXICO!!!

well lets ignore the unhappy hatters, who want something use their knowlogy or they learn to grow in what they want, the car is made by a mexican men and his sons who already have experience building race cars for competitions that means they build this one with the parts that they know that a racing car must to have, this is the frist civilian race model but with time the perfection will come, if you dont like mexico, they dont care, so waste ur time typing until you get artritis

I'm not hating on this car it's beautiful and it's pride for all of us Mexicans. But really look at your comment. No Japanese sports car is made in Mexico which are: Nissan 370z, Subaru Impreza WRX sti, Scion FRS etc... Why well because these are they're bread and butter. Now if you're talking about Toyota: Corolla, Tacoma. Ford American: F-150, Ranger. Then yeah because it's cheaper to pay people down in mexico to assemble the vehicle. This Matretta is still needs more hp but looks good.

Just remember when the Toyota Celica or Japanese cars came into the us market everyone thought they were a peice of s...it then wamo ...uck they were not not that bad give it time and see what happens not bad for a first try if you ask me sports car and not a cart and donkey think about it if you think Mexico is backwards Mexico may not be that backwards after all you think ? or are you set in your ways ?

i think its a great little car, needs some improvements, but for a start is really great

If Mexico wants to show what they're made of they should come out with a big v8 muscle car. Something amongst the likes of chargers, mustangs, camaros, etc...Something like this little Mr2 wanna be wont cut it.

i want one :p

Well it certainly has the one quality that has always crushed our supercars. Affordability!!! And yes, the VERY expensive Italian and British thoroughbreds of the 20th century did blow up quite a lot, but even when they did, they did it with so much passion and flair. European supercars are so much more sexy and aristocratic than American supercars. They are just as expensive today but what you get is a technological and exquisite masterpiece. As for the MXT, I just don't see who'd ever buy one.

coming soon...second step, working on a new mexican 400 hp new heart!!! The red and black one are awesome colours! Interiors leather red, black and grey combinations.

Alright guys, time to answer some questions with Mexican knowledge. 1.- It uses a ford engine because they're very easy to get in Mexico, we make tons of them. 2.- It doesn't go fast across the border, you'd either need a super powered reinforced chassis SUV to break one of the 2-4 reinforced border walls, OR have no traffic in the border so you could just accelerate to the booth and show your visa.

I had the chance when i was living in mexico in 2009 to be cosider to work for mastratta..

how much do these go for?

Give this car time and it will soon compete with those other manufactures.

I WANT THIS CAR. FUCKING BADASS

wonder what it would be if hennessey tuned it.

I prefer the mxt over the elise :)

I agree it looks better than the lotus Elise by far, however I think the engineers should work on originally designed engine I know that will take more yrs but it will be even more original. They should also make a version on the k24/vtec Honda engine for a more sporty feel. imagine this thing revving at 8k RPMs

🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

Good for you. Not sure why my wifea E built in Germany would be worse. The cars I've seen in the states, have been quite different from the ones here in the EU. Interestingly enough does my friends from the US with these cars, share this opinion when they are here and see our cars. But great if you have a nicely built car. Cheers

My biggest concern with the Mastretta MXT is which Ford transaxle is being mated to the Duratec 2.0. If it is the Ford MTX-75, then transaxle durability will be a huge concern. Owners of the old Ford Contour, Mercury Mystique and Mercury Cougar from the late 1990s / early 2000s can testify just how bad this transaxle is if you try to drive it hard without any aftermarket modifications (differentials as strong as "glass" and shifter mechanisms that drop bolts into the case causing destruction).

Also note that the Toyota 86 and cars like it are going to be hard competition, despite the Mastretta being more powerful, it lacks every day usefulness...considering the Mastretta is more expensive too it lack competetive power(60 000 vs 30 000 USD)...hell you'll be able to get a new Jaguar F-Type for Mastretta money. If you had to chose, would you really pick the Mastretta?

lol i dig, i wasnt trying to be an asshat, but usually i love cracking down on people who fuck up correcting someone lol it just makes me chuckle, but you're good my dude

just 65k?bro is a good car ngl

Looks interesting. Though the tail lights look like they came of a skyline. The side scoops look like they pulled them off an audi tt. and the rest of the design queues seem to have ebbed from the LFA. Then they drop a 4 cylinder engine in it, which makes sense considering all the mexicans driving little civics and cavaliers. It was probably the only thing they knew how to work on... Having said all that, I love ever bit of this car and would totally love to drive around in one. Great job Mexico

Mexico is the world's 5th largest automobile maker, and they don't just make Corollas and F-150's. Ever heard of BMW and Mercedes Benz? Those companies don't make Corollas. The MXT doesn't need more hp because it is built to compete with cars like the Lotus Elise, which has way less hp.

Considering that the Mercedes plant in Mexico has won a bunch of awards I don't think he's speaking factually.

Interesting potential, but not sure if worth the price.

Did anyone buy this car⁉️ Are there any on the road⁉️

It's called "The Tortilla"

you would know because you drove it right ?

The MXT runs about 58,000 USD pretty cheap, I'd get it for the heck of it since I'm a Mexican, Would I race it? Maybe if I'm able to tune it...

I would buy the car no doubt, not only cuz its Mexican and supports a MEXICAN SPORT CAR COMPANY, but cuz its beautiful and original..... Let's face something: this car is only for the rich Europeans and the Hispanic businessmen, this car is not for the little bitches who happen to criticize it for any fucking reason.

Way better than the lotus elise

Don't forget that it is common knowledge that the BMW's and Merc's produced in Mexico are built quite differently than here in the EU, to keep the cars cheaper for the North American market. The Corollas built in Japan and the EU are better built than BMW's and Merc's built in Mexico.

70,000 is not a lot of money? You think that coming from a country where the minimum wage is 5 dollars a day, Mastretta would have built a car that is practical, reliable, with good gas milage and at a reasonable price (

When i look at your design all i see is lotus replica with ford engine in it , this is what i meant . It has noting to do with your own engineering . IT is a cool car , nice as well , it should be fun to drive for sure . You could try little harder to make it feels different with adding your own ideas .

i am mexican and i must say this car needs work im not gonna like a car just cuzz of were it from its what you get and it looks to much like an opel or a lotus the lines need to be a lil more softer and those side mirror need work i mean look how much they stand out also the headlight dont win me over not saying its ugly or bad it just needs work im sure it will improve dramatically within 4-5 years needs more development

What about japan?

haters! why can't you be happy for Mexico

420Tame, Whatever you say man, but remember to give other countries a chance and that we are not against nobody here. It is simply we are happy to have a car to be made by us. Maybe its because I said we will be the next italian, sorry if that offended you. Maybe I should of said that our technology will match to those in China, or Japan sooner or later.

HATERS GUNNA HATE, IS WHY IM GIVING U A DOSE OF HATERADE!!!

Ive seen this video already?

Yeah but that doesn't mean you need to discourage what some of us is a FIRST step to the right direction.

So you don't think people will question the quality of a START-UP car company from MEXICO? I never said anything about plastic, I have no gripe with plastic, nor the car parts made there...I am saying people are prejudiced and saying your car was build in Mexico isn't really what comes to mind when we talk about great engineering...strangely people think Germany which is false since their cars are the the one least reliable, Asian, specifically Japanese and Korean cars are the most reliable.

but they also made all the badass lil rice rocket sports cars.. i.e. datsuns, nissans, s2000's and the like

Also note that the Toyota 86 is slower then a low end v6 mustang and its cost more to ..

Here just because of the forza horizon 5 rumor. It could possibly be set in Mexico

Jettas are made in sinaloa!

Yeah, because every time I think of competition for the European cars, I think of the US or bloody Mexico, particularly based on what is essentially a prolonged ad. Meanwhile, those Japanese guys have no clue at all when it comes to sports cars, I mean, the Lexus LFA and Nissan GT-R are no match for a 250 hp tacomobile.. Clucking bell.

Que triste que se aliaron con otra empresa y les lavaron el coco y los quebraron en el 2013... Mastretta gone forever. Todavia nos queda el VUHL 05 que es en mi opinion el mejor de su clase.

Haters will always hate.

Well just remember this is a small company that will eventually mature... And about the price well lets put it this way it would probably cost you 5 times more to change the oil to a Jaguar than to this car so the cost of the car doesnt end at initial price

Mxt stands for MexicanTurbo

Cars built in Mexico don't only go to North America, many end up in other parts of the world. I don't know where you get your information, I think you just assume things, that you are just biased and have a fixed image of Mexico. Before MBW's and Merc's were built in Mexico, they came from Europe, do you think that people in Mexico will be satisfied with something of lesser quality?

i am talking about a track go on look up the numbers . lets take car and drivers lighting lap for ex . the 3:16.6 LOTUS ELISE SC and the 2011 v6 mustang 3:12.5 go on look it up if you want ? and the v6 is only $22k and even beat out the awd wrx sti

I dot know about the interior

LMFAO where'd you get your degree ITT Tech? Or perhaps the auto mechanics equivalent.

I dont know what USA People wants in terms of Built Quality but Ive been inside your Top of the Line "Sports Car" (CORVETTE ZR1) and not only feels Cheap, Its terribly Made, Fenders are made of Plastic, Stereo is Horrible, Flimsy Interior but hey that ZR1 Engine is AWESOME! So "Made in the USA" is something to be proud of? I dont think so... What other Brands do (Mercs, Bimmers) for their Economic Strategy is not something you should be worrying about, Just look at your Own BRANDS.

este carro no fue hecho para competir con esos que tu mencionas, el competira con otros como el lotus en el

And just to round it off. I have absolutely nothing against Mexico. Fact is, that cars are built there and there's a reason for that. American cars built there have the same issues. Just look at the F150. "High end" cars from Ford, Chevy and Crysler, are built in the US, and in chevys case except for the Vette, Canada.

LOL, that's gold.

Actually they have, and they took those mistakes in order to become what they are today.

No confundas o como diria Clint Eastwood, en la vida hay dos clases de personas, los que pueden manejar un Mastretta y los que se quedan "milando"

Gee whiz...good first drive around a parking lot ..lol

no they are not two completely different countrys

I Agree with you that I wouldn't buy this car, right now it's too expensive due to the lack of emotional branding other cars have (Porsche, the "Z"s, you name it), on top of not enough R&D, I personally would get a 370Z myself also, I wouldn't say the car is garbage but is just too average for a sports car. I disagree with you however on your comment on Mexican Quality Engineers, there are plenty of and there's enough info on the web about mexican automotive industry. 2¢ from a Mexican Engineer.
