The Mazda MX-5 Miata put the roadster back on the map when it launched in the late 1980s, so it only made sense for a popular rock band from that decade to play in the next generation of the sports car. Duran Duran helped unveil the 2016 MX-5 Miata on Sept. 3 in Monterey, Calif., but despite that rocking ode to the past, the fourth-generation roadster showcased a new design that is decidedly modern.
While it nods to the original MX-5 Miata with its smooth, line-free flanks, the 2016 model is lower and wider than past generations, sporting an “impossibly low” hood and a drastically sloping nose for a more aggressive look. Accentuating that bolder front-end are slim, slanted LED headlights and an oversized Mazda logo. Moving down the side of the new MX-5 Miata, the A-pillars have been pulled backward and blacked out along with the side mirrors, while the muscular rear-end tappers dramatically into the new circular LED taillights.
“The MX-5 Miata has dedicated fans who love the roadster’s affordable performance, but many of them have told Mazda that they’d like the car to have a more confident style that would better reflect its engaging handling,” said Barry Chew, sales manager of Mastria Mazda, a Mazda dealer in Raynham, Mass. “With the debut of this next-generation model, Mazda has fulfilled those requests and then some, as the MX-5’s smiling front fascia has been replaced with a mischievous smirk.”
Underneath its sleeker sheet metal, the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata will ride on an all-new SKYACTIV-CHASSIS that will not only allow the roadster to drop about 220 pounds compared to the outgoing model, but will also help it achieve a lower center of gravity than any previous generation. Though official powertrain details have yet to be announced, the new MX-5 Miata is expected to offer fuel-saving SKYACTIV engines and transmissions when it goes on sale stateside in the middle of next year.
