Looks ok, but still think the curves and body lines of the twins look way better...I wouldn't look twice if I ever saw it in person.

Well, depending on your definition of mid engine, that is behind the front transaxle entirely. Lol

It looks great but I'm kinda upset, just like everyone else, that absolutely nothing was said about the engine or transmission or really anything technical.

I like it -- it looks like what an updated S2000 might be. I'm not a huge fan of the smiley front end though. The wheels are a nice modernization of the originals, and I wish the FR-S came stock with wheels that look that cool. (and as probably lightweight)

The sides look absolutely amazing (especially without the ghey fake side vents like our cars have), but the front still has a somewhat happy face and the rear lights are kinda weird. It's overall much better looking than the NC. But man those brakes are tiny!

Someone needs to be fired for that "reveal". Making us wait an hour to see the front of the car and no specs....really!


Even Your own website said it lost 100kg but the bald dude couldn't have dropped that nugget in his monologue? F U Mazda

The skyactiv-G direct injection engine sounds heavenly for a turbo

Is that a concept or a production model? It really does look like a blend of the S2000 and a BMW Z4, with an FRS hood line and headlights.

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.

Never been a fan of the smile on the front of any car. I felt like jaguar nailed how they have associated and advertised the the F-Type as an angry car made for villains. #itsgoodtobebad
