The next-gen MX-5 Miata thread

[05XR8]

Turbo power. Wonder if we'll see a different type of buyer grabbing these up.

Either this is an unusual camera angle, or that is some serious camber.

For some reason I get a 'baby Viper' feeling from that image.

Seems like the interior is untouched from the Miata

I do prefer the design of the MX-5 but I do appreciate the retro styling cues of the "Fiata" (which should be the unofficial nickname of this car! )

What will make the 124 stand out is the engine choices, hopefully Abarth can come up with something to push it over the 200 HP mark.

I like the 124 design cues they've sculpted on it. I just hope it keeps the Japanese quality..

It should be, if that interior is any indication, it's a rebadged and slightly rebodied MX-5.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

But aren't they going to use Fiats own powerplant? That's what I was after..

Original 124 was basically a Flat surface with button.

The whole cars proportions is different than the Mazda's

Don't worry. With the interior taken straight from the MX-5, the cheap rattling plastic is almost guaranteed to return.

Hey, I called it a Fiata first!

 

[Heldenzeit]

ND rear suspension with PPF. Only 110 lbs.

949 also got their car wrapped in orange.

 

[Panoz]

The Global MX-5 Cup car goes on sell today at $53,000.

 

[05XR8]

Targa for the MX-5?

 

[Heldenzeit]

I hope this becomes real.

 

[Grandea GTR]

I hope this becomes real.

All of my want

 

[Nessy]

I hope this becomes real.

I'm with you on that. However I just can't see the hardtop ever being that shape, even if Mazda do a coupe I doubt it would be that shape. Looks awesome though. 👍

 

[Rotorist]

A great GT300 shape there!

 

[catamount39]

I hope this becomes real.

A GT300 MX-5 would be AMAZING!

 

[05XR8]

If the MR-S was made a GT300. Anything is possible.

It needs to be yellow if it ever happens, because reasons.

I want. Badly.

I feel a strong case can be made for white with a red stripe...

Man, a Miata Speedster is what the world needs, badly.

 

[05XR8]

Decisions descisions.

Dont know if anyone has posted it but the Abarth version will have a different look to the FIAT and wont be a simple touch up like the FIAT 500. Diferent body panels etc

After a coupe, obviously.
