Pork Chop 08-21-2002, 05:22 PM It's the MPS Miata. It's not supercharged IIRC. I think it was powered by a 1.9L NA motor making 180hp. I'm not sure if it ever made it to production. The only thing that was certain was that it was not going to imported to the US.:( Grimace 08-21-2002, 05:31 PM Hasn't gone into production (yet). Wasn't supercharged. The cut-out was probably for looks or extra cooling. Edit - forgot to mention it won't hit our shores due to emissions. BlueAdept 08-21-2002, 08:24 PM Somone showed me another photo of that car today too... it's a Miata and I think it was going to exist... rotarynews.com 08-21-2002, 08:32 PM It's the Roadster MPS... More info here (http://www.miata.net/news/mps.html) (http://www.miata.net/news/mps.html) ZoomZoom 08-21-2002, 10:46 PM I defiantly like the look, and if it is some sort of Miata it should be a great car to own. cptpain 04-16-2005, 02:15 AM its the concept model of the Hardtop Miata the mazda could possibly release in '07 or '08 even more possible that its an updated Mazdaspeed Miata Hardtop XDEEDUBBX 04-16-2005, 02:29 AM i dunno but with that extra inlet it kinda looks like a pirate with an eye patch....haha ayai! BlueFrenzy 04-16-2005, 02:38 AM Don't you guys know? Mazda's trying out the new hover technology! Ha ha. I do like the look of this car though. Very sleek.

AdictiveRx 04-16-2005, 06:35 AM Mazdaspeed MX-5 Coupe Rupes 04-16-2005, 11:53 AM The first pic looks kinda like a Hyundai Tiburon to me. :o army_rx8 04-16-2005, 12:09 PM the second pic makes it look like a baby FD3S...i liek it. now if only i wasnt' so damn tall....oh and in japan since we'll probable never see it. lol:p SHOWOFF 04-16-2005, 12:20 PM Kinda looks like a baby Aston Martin. robrecht 04-17-2005, 03:22 AM Here are some of the pictures I took of it at SEMA in 2003: http://www.rx8club.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=47030&stc=1 http://www.rx8club.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=47029&stc=1Actually, this coupe is not the same as the convertible (with detachable hardtop) that Stan003 was asking about. Interesting to see how the fender flares of the NC were already being hinted at in the MPS. |
