Still though, at 2200 lbs that thing will be a blast. Any news on power levels?

It's a shame I'm 6'5", I'd need a helmet to drive that thing.

I think it was 125hp

EDIT - I fucked up. Kept reading andd

"As of August 2012, an unnamed source has stated that Mazda has chosen an engine already and it is a 1.3-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder. It pumps out a healthy 200 horsepower, which is 22 horsepower more than the 2004 and 2005 Mazdaspeed MX-5 produced and 33 horsepower more than the current model"

My feelings exactly. If 6' 4" of me could fit in it, with a hard top....might consider, but would then promptly turn down.

With that said, OP, they didn't announce any specs yet. So, I'm not sure what you mean by "they did it again."

And with that said, I think the design is spectacular. I LIKE the headlights, I LIKE the front, I LIKE the rear, I LIKE the wheels, I LIKE the interior.

The front is happy, aggressive, and EMOJI all at the same time.

It will probably be 180hp/160tq

Correct on engine specs, but with the anounced wider body and 200+ lb loss they can keep the same engine in there and it would significantly improve from the current model. Yeah a lot of speculation but just those two features are amazing accomplishments for Mazda and its MX5.

This is the kind of statement that says "I don't know crap about cars and have issues with the size of my penis".

I don't really like to post memes, but the front fascia genuinely brought this image to mind:

Mazda press release states they shaved 220lbs off the NC. Wider, lower, stiffer, lighter. This car looks great too and should be a blast! Can't wait for more info.

Headlights are too small and sunken for my tastes and the rear looks like a z4 bmw. Not that I'm in the market for a roadster but I was hoping they would challenge the last S2k. 155hp 13:1 cr ain't cutting it mazda.

Luis_GT · 09-03-2014, 11:57 PM

I'd rock one!

155hp? Mazda has iirc two skyactiv engines that would work, one 150 and one 180, but they're reportedly doing a whole new one for this car and have said something like "Americans wouldn't settle for less power." So I'm guessing/hoping 180 at least. Which is pretty damn decent in a 2200lb car. Add boost to 250 hp and you're looking at mustang gt power:weight about.

God if they could just make this a coupe, need practicality...

medina619 · 09-04-2014, 12:08 AM

I cant hate on it. i love my NA. crazy fun to drive. im expecting the same from the ND.

ET86 · 09-04-2014, 12:24 AM

I dig it!

noobcake · 09-04-2014, 12:39 AM

Car looks nice especially the rear. Still think the front bumper looks weird, but aftermarket will fix that right up. Safe to say that's the sharpest looking miata yet.

Well I'll eat my hat.

With weight that low it will be interesting to see what level of power Mazda thinks is satisfactory...

Looking at it again, it looks like it's saying, "Dude. What?"
