spursmaddave Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Rear is maybe a bit meh but the front/side view is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 i can see they've blatantly stolen design cues from the F-type, but to me the new MX5 looks like an elephant has sat on the bonnet, and then someone added some lights with an axe as an afterthought. it looks like a snake at the front, and a startled rabbit at the back. and those have to be the tiniest twin tailpipes i have ever seen... the f-type needs twin exhausts, with the engines the new MX5 is fitted with it barely needs one. Oh, and the wheels are too small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gudzy Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) Yeah not a fan of the rear the more I look at it... the interior looks a step up too, just hope it hasn't made it too lardy... The article says its 100kg lighter than the mk3. Not really a fan of the newer mx5s as they kept getting heavier, glad to see they've bucked the trend.

Good that it is lighter still, proper go-kart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Loving the front view but the back is terrible and definitely needs lowering & bigger wheels/exhaust. Also the interior & dash looks pretty good to me apart from that thing in the centre that just looks like an iPad plonked on the dash. After thought?

Ekona Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 SO MUCH WANT That's going to be amazing, as long as the electric steering isn't completely sh*t. With a lovely high-revving 2L lump in there, that's going to be a beauty of a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
