As these images recently captured by our spies indicate, Mazda is sticking with its winning formula for the new MX-5 roadster, due out next year. With its simple lines and relatively small dimensions, the new MX-5 remains faithful to the ethos behind the current car, as well as echoing themes introduced by the Ibuki concept that first appeared at Tokyo motorshow in 2003. The Ibuki concept featured gently rounded edges and an 'oval' design theme throughout, which seems destined to find its way into the new car.
After more than 15 years on sale, the current MX-5 remains one of the best ever small roadsters to drive, even when measured against the latest competition. That will be one of the biggest challenges facing Mazda engineers, as any step backward on the dynamic front will be sure to alienate the MX-5's hugely faithful followers. The current 1.8-litre 146bhp engine is likely to be carried over, but expect more powerful versions to follow. Don't expect very high-powered versions, though, as Mazda appears to be adhering to the original car's mission as a lightweight, great-handling sportster that simply doesn't need huge power to achieve its goal.

With the right rims and color the MX-5 can be a cool car.
