Mazda will introduce two concept cars at the next SEMA: the MX-5 Spyder and Mazda 2 Turbo2. The MX-5 Spyder represents Mazda’s willingness to create an extreme and lighter version of its classic two-seater, adopting a solution quite similar to what we have seen for the Boxster Spyder: a hard tonneau and a skimpy canvas top replacing the current folding top. It doesn’t get any more minimalistic than that. This solution as well as a new aerodynamic kit, lowered ride height, Brembo brakes and alloys add up to MX-5 well-known fighting spirit.

Mazda 2 Turbo2 is the result of a classic engine swap as the 263 hp 2.3-litre 4-cylinder engine of the CX-7 has been fitted in Mazda 2 compact chassis. Obviously, aerodynamics, brakes, suspension and ride height as well had to be upgraded in order to take all that power. Besides, its exterior designed has been revamped as well, and you can have a glimpse of the outcome in the picture below. No information has been released about the performance of this model, which is destined to remain a simple show car anyway.
