Yep, it's the Miata coupe. It's on display at the Mazda office lobby down in Irvine, CA right now fresh from SEMA I guess.

Yes. This was the Mazda's trailer moving the cars for the SEMA show.

Whoever wants to see Mazdaspeed Miata - go to the SOCALM's party tomorrow. There will be one there.

Nothing impressive or better with the Mazdaspeed Miata compared to the thousands of Miatas with aftermarket forced induction besides the factory warranty. It is tame compared to them. Most people from the Miata community are not excited about it - Mazda put 17" anchors (eh, wheels) on it ...


The only good high performance one from Mazda which is desired by many Miata enthusiasts was the MPS Roadster ( not available in USA though )

Around 200hp naturally aspirated engine. IRTB. Lots of carbon fibre.

Underside the MPS Roadster looked this way:

As much as I hate to admit it, the RX8 Mazdaspeed Miata looks pretty nice....
