2006 Mazdaspeed MX-5 Miata

At the 2005 SEMA Show, Mazda displayed a pre-production version of their third-gen Mazdaspeed MX-5 Miata.
The most noticeable change is the aggressive front facia, styled wheel sills and a lower overall stance. At the rear, a bolt on facia complements a three piece rear spoiler and much larger exhaust tips.
Chassis improvements include a front tower strut brace, height-adjustable coil-overs, and 18 inch forged aluminum wheels.
Inside, the Mazdaspeed Miata gets the usual carbon fiber and aluminum accents.
No word yet on the engine modifications that Mazdaspeed are preparing for the car, most likely they are still in the development phase.
