>>14694597
i really don't think they can do a mazdaspeed, all their skyactive engines have enormous compression ratios so any kind of turbo setup from factory would be difficult and wouldn't add much power anyway

It's got a pretty side profile but I still think the front end looks ugly.

>>14694615
Dude in the car does not look happy.

>>14694623
New Cx-9 has 2.5 skyactiv-G that's turbocharged

>>14694498
>>14694755

This also negates the need for a rollbar, not completely, but for 90% of us it does the job rather nicely. Which is a great bonus because rollbars add 35-40+ pounds EASY, on top of the hard top that alot of miatas add on.

>>14694755
that seems unlikely, i can't see it being less than 45kg since it has some decently sized glass panes, those metal vertical bits, and all the mechanical linkages

>>14694798
It's only a section of the roof, it's more a powered targa than an actual droptop, that's how it's not heavy

My dick is diamonds. Seriously would consider buying one lightly used with that; the front fascia is still a massive turn-off though.

it didnt still keep the back window i believe but it was still a retractable hardtop in a sense

Any changes in the specs?

>>14694348
its ok. maybe i am just too tired but i dont see the appeal. The ND didn't even hit the mass market in the US i think and they are already trying to sell another one?

>>14695820
yep

>>14694623
They lowered the compression on the last gen MZR engines for the MS6 and MS3 from 9.9 to 9.7 I believe

Mazda truly has soul. I feel like the other jap companies have lost theirs.
I'm really starting to think I want one over the toyubaru

They need to bring back the braaaps. It's for the good of the world Mazda, please don't let us down

Miata its fine. It doesn't need to be powerful. If you want powerful get a fucking vette. People who buy a miatta know that its slow. They want a slow car. Let them have a slow car and dont bitch about it.

>>14696074
I am still in my 20s and have already outgrown (maybe due to lower testosterone) the desire for extreme horsepower in a street car. 155 is still low but I would not want any more than about 220 in a car the weight of a miata.

How can other manufacturers even compete? What's Nissan got? A fucking Murano with a CVT?

>>14695767

>>14696156

US spec is 160 hp / 184 tq , price unannounced.

There's been a lot of documentation on abarths running the multiair /w gt 1446 turbo's reaching 200whp with piggy backs and minor mods, so believe what you want I guess.

>>14694348
God damned it Mazda just give us a fucking coupe. Retractable fast back, what the actual fuck? Are you trying to see how close you can get to offering a coupe with out actually doing it?

The entire history of the Miata, an absolute refusal to produce a coupe. Is it because you know the coupe will outsell the vert 10-1?

It is like there is some autist at Mazda rubbing his flippers together at the idea of forcing all these people into buying convertibles. He knows they want a coupe. He knows they DO NOT want a convertible. He knows they buy it anyway because there is no other car in the small, rwd and affordable class.

>>14696524

I'd rather get a WRX or a V6 accord, seriously. That much money for this? I dont have a reaction pic for this.

>>14696091
Same. I can get a 140hp car going so fucking fast around corners there is no point to more power. There is also something really fun about going fast and asking for everything a motor can give you.

>>14696504
That is what I am getting at. Its the completely autistic adherence to the roadster meme. Every time they do a coupe concept of limited run (NB) it looks wonderful, people jump up and down about wanting it, then mazda gives us the finger and says you only can have a convertible.

BRZ and FRS sales alone ought to have proved it to them that they have their heads up their asses. People aren't buying those things because they are Subarus or Toyotas, they aren't spending their money at Mazda because Mazda refuses to make a couple Miata.

Fucking why? It's not like Mazda hasn't made excellent sport coupes in the past. It's not like they have to protect the RX-7. Even if we get into the ideology aspect, the reason why the S2000 was only offered with a manual, It's not like sport coupes offer a diminished experience.

>>14694348
ND design always looked like it was designed with retractable hard top in mind and holy shit this proves it.

>can't fit in a Miata

Lose some weight fatty

>>14697477

The fuck are you even on about? This has nothing to do with weight (I'm 175b). It's about height of torso.

I fit just fine in an S2000, a TT, an F86, a del Sol, a Mini convertible, .... It's just that Miatas have always been designed for people under 5'8". It's a japanese thing.

>>14697477

My friend who is 6'0" with a pretty good size belly DDs an NA Miata without a problem.

Nothing but interior upgrades

Just to clarify, this is actually happening and not just a vaporware concept right? I'd buy one in a heartbeat if they just fixed up the front-end (a turbo for 3-5k wouldn't be bad either but 5.8 to 60 is more than reasonable).

Been wanting to drive an ND for a while anyway, probably will be an asshole and show up to a Mazda dealership to test drive one with no intent of buying it.

>i'm not sure if rotaries have a sweet spot of efficiency or not though

I believe they do. iirc Mercedes was looking at using one as a generator for a hybrid setup.

I think that having an electric motor right after the dorito and before the transmission would be perfect. Consider it an electric rotor if you will.

Believe me or not but woman tend to like convertibles. If you're worrying about your hair, there's an option to close the roof.

So you are one of those who don't like them. I didn't say that every woman loves convertibles.
A (girl) friend of mine owned a mx-5 and now she owns a cayman convertible. Obviously she doesn't complain about her car.

One of the reasons could be that convertibles are unpractical option for modern sports car. Also they were often advertised as women's car. The thing with the mx-5 also could be that they were ''cute'' looking cars.
I think that the feminine theme was mentioned in these reviews

>>14699104
What? I was comparing convertibles/targas with coupes. People who are interested in sports cars tend to prefer solid roofs for practical reasons. Less weight, stiffer body..

>>14699174
