Mazda MX-5 Spyder & Turbo2 announced for SEMA
 
Mazda has announced plans to introduce the MX-5 Spyder and Turbo2 at the SEMA Motor Show.
First up, the MX-5 has a new front bumper, revised side skirts and a bikini top. There's also tinted headlights, Brembo brakes and Advan Racing wheels.
The Mazda2 based Turbo2, on the other hand, has a front lip spoiler, extended side skirts and a prominent rear wing. We can also expect Brembo brakes, Katzkin seats and one of Mazda's "most powerful turbocharged engines."

...but wasn't Mx5 a convertible to begin w isn't it? So What's the difference Spyder or convertible.

As for turbo, is Mazda Miata turbo or Mazdaspeed Miata turbo like last turbo ver?

I'm guessing they removed the retractable roof parts making it lighter.

They should just make a superlightweight coupe around 2200 lbs, put a new turbo renesis engine in it around 220 hp and call it a day.

Wouldn't it be pretty badass if they stuck a turbo rotary in the 2?

Bikini top!?! SMH! That thing would be sweet if they just added a hard top.

Looks like a demented happy face now.

When I think Mazda Turbo2 I think of the FC3S lol

A MS3 engine in a M2 would be kinda ridiculous.. fun but I'd imagine the torque steer would be even worse in such a light chassis.

Kinda annoying with the Boxster Spyder top rip off..
