The next-gen MX-5 Miata thread

[Beeblebrox237]

That's quite possibly the best NC I've ever seen.

iles on it in 2008. If it's available, I've got it or had it.

Wait...I know you. You're...that guy.
Aftermarket should pick up in the next few years. 06s are getting under the $10k mark so not long before kiddies are buying them up and requesting new mods.

Kraftwerks is making a Rotrex supercharger kit for NCs and Energy Suspension will make a bushing set for them as well. As the cars get cheaper, parts will be more prevalent.

Kraftwerks is being sold now. Looks like good stuff.

One of the cars local to me was the test/development car for both projects. Having driven a Kraftwerks driven NB, the NC has to be a ball of fun as well.

Rendering of the MX-5 coupe

Side view reminds me of the FD.

Needs more fastback.

It's because it's an FD roof photoshopped on.

I want iiiiit!

Hardtop takes away the only reason to buy MX-5 instead of Subaru BRZ or Toyota GT86.

Not really, no.

On the contrary, it'd be the only reason to buy one over a BRZFRS

A coupe based on a miata will be as mediocre as a convertible based on the BRZFRS.

I take it the designer didn't think much about drag or lift. If you wanna make the Miata revolutionary, try making it not the least aerodynamic car in existence.

The NB coupe was far from mediocre, I doubt this one would be. I'm sold either way, but would prefer a coupe and so would everyone else that ever wanted a Miata but don't care for a convertible.

A coupe like this would be nice. But, Mazda's practicality will make it look closer to this

More hatch than boot lid, in a fixed roof. Only my opinion.

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

Mugen > Spoon

Oem > Mugen > Spoon

This is why I really like this render.

Mazda's practicality? That doesn't compute when it comes to the MX5.
I've tried a hand full of spares before I could find one that fit through the trunk opening.

Somehow I got quoted here, when it should have been @05XR8

 

[05XR8]

Of course it's practical. Ask yourself, where would you put a spare on a motorcycle? We no need no steenking spares.

Any way, Mazda packaged the PRHT as to still keep the boot usable plus add minimal weight. Mazda could have just done away with boot space.

 

[Heldenzeit]

I keep a spare in my fastback Miata, whats the big deal? Lol.

[CodeRedR51]

Eh, don't care.

Edit: Wondering if those would look better in a standard amber color instead. Hmm.

Hell no, it's way too hot for a convertible.

I don't know why but I look at that and think about the all seeing eye, there might be something wrong with me lol.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Model S is kinda like that too.

 

[Robin]

I would have thought by now all cars would have mirror mounted lights, they look cooler and work better.

Every other NC that interests me seems to be located in your state.
