These pics are from Miata.net. Read the article about the car here. Looks like they are headed in the right direction with the NC. I like that the radiator, as well as the engine, are completely behind the front wheel centerline. And then there's the sub-2205 lbs weight. Awesome!! The production car won't look like this, but many of the engineering features will remain. Here are the pics:

 

 

i never thought i'd see a car uglier than the audi TT roadster...... i guess i was wrong

 

wow~
really?
and they still wouldn't put a roll bar on it?

 

hahaha ibuki from SF3

 

i think it's pretty damn good looking. .considering the class of the car!!!!

 

Ibuki....Ipukey

 

That's a step down from the current car, blah. It looks like a Giant Blue Pill.

 

Noooo!!!! I don't like it at all!

 

I guess no one actually read the article and the part of the original post that said "The production car won't look like this ".

The Ibuki is being referenced as the concept (engineering not design) of the NC Miata.
