A car enthusiast since childhood, Chris Perkins is Road & Track's engineering nerd and Porsche apologist. He joined the staff in 2016 and no one has figured out a way to fire him since. He street-parks a Porsche Boxster in Brooklyn, New York, much to the horror of everyone who sees the car, not least the author himself. He also insists he's not a convertible person, despite owning three.
Not long after showing the facelifted 'ND3' MX-5 Miata, Mazda is preparing to pull the wraps off a new roadster-related concept. The automaker announced Tuesday that its Japanese Mobility Show stand will be dedicated to the MX-5, with both new and old models on display, plus a 'new concept car designed to symbolize the exhibit theme.'From the teaser image released, this concept appears to be related to a scissor-door coupe concept Mazda showed last year.
We expect that the current ND Miata will live on for a few more years, which is unusually long for a modern production car, but not unheard of for the Miata. The third-generation NC was produced for 10 years, and the ND hasn't quite hit that milestone. Mazda has said the next-generation Miata will be electrified in some capacity, and we suspect that means it'll have some level of hybridization.
