Mazda to reveal two MX-5 concepts at SEMA 2015

The work of Mazda's in-house design teams, the pair of creations -the MX-5 Spyder conceptand MX-5 Speedster concept - have been described by the company as vastly different takes on the new MX-5.

 

The MX-5 Spyder captures the character of a vintage roadster and translates it into a modern-day design, including bespoke leather interior details that were painstakingly crafted, and featuring a new Mercury Silver concept paint colour.

 

In contrast, the MX-5 Speedster is a study in the extremes of lightweight, purpose-built performance, paying homage to minimalist roadsters of the 1950s. The Blue Ether-painted MX-5 Speedster is "uncompromised in its approach to wind-in-the-hair driving", going so far as to eschew a traditional windshield for a lighter deflector.

 

Both cars are significantly lighter than the production version of the MX-5 recently released here in Australia, and come with a host of conceptual and aftermarket pieces and fabrication from partners including: Racing Beat, Haartz Corporation, ASC - American Sunroof Corporation, Makin Industries/RAYS Wheels, KW Suspensions, Delta Seat, H&R Springs, Lusch, AC&A Manufacturing, Franks Fab Shop, Long Road Racing and SIM Specialty Interior Manufacturing.

 

Both the MX-5 Spyder and MX-5 Speedster concepts will be on display at the SEMA Show on November 3 to 6 at the Mazda stand.
