To whomever is interested.

After 10 years, the next generation (ND) of the world's best selling roadster will be revealed live on youtube tonight at 9pm.

Here is a concept drawing leak from earlier today posted by a Mazda product engineer. Expect it to look similar to this.

The front looks similar to the 2004 Mazdaspeed MX-5.

The back looks similar to an Alfa Romeo. Mazda is sharing their platform with Alfa Romeo for the Alfa Romeo Spyder.

I'm hearing all models to come turbocharged. Kinda looks like a z4 from the rear, menacing fish like scowl in the front.

Someone on the miata forums say they called a Mazda dealership in Florida and that dealership claims it will come with a 1.5L and 2.0L with the 6 speed MT only being offered in the higher trim. Lower trim at 5 Spd MT or auto.

We will learn the truth in less than 5 hours.

The front end reminds me of a smooshed FRS

CleanNeon98 · 09-03-2014, 04:29 PM

I'm super excited for this! Back of that rendering looks like Alfa Romeo 8C

No word on powertrain yet. But it now has electric steering and standard LED headlights and tail lights.
16 and 17" wheel options.

CleanNeon98 · 09-04-2014, 09:21 AM

It's sososososo good looking. Like a Miata and BRZ had a baby

Wait until you see this.

Oh, and the trunk has more depth to it. You can fit slightly taller boxes now.

rocknrace03 · 09-04-2014, 10:34 PM

Several Sources say two options will be available:
1.5L (140hp) and 2.0L (180hp), 6 Spd MT.

No confirmation from Mazda yet.

Engine bay pic attached.

Khellen · 09-08-2014, 02:14 PM

I didn't see anyone mention that they've announced it'll be 200lbs lighter than the current model.

Why is that important? Well for one it makes the Miata 500lbs lighter then a BRZ....and close to the same horsepower if it is 180hp.

Just shy of 200hp in a car that weighs 2200 lbs will be pretty fun! Probably similar to an S2k. You won't be winning any drag races but finally the Miata will feel like it can get out of it's own way without the help of forced induction or a v8!

PaleDSM · 09-09-2014, 10:17 AM

I think that would put it at a better power to weight ratio than an S2k.

c7scayman · 11-05-2014, 10:11 AM

MX-5 Cup Car concept.
