For anyone that doesn't have time to read 5 million emails a day from
the US list and the the Miata.net Forum...

Five pictures of the third generation test MX5 at the track, top down:

Of particular note (comments from the submitter, Mark Booth):
* Built-in Roll Hoops
* No apparent boot cover for the top (perhaps it folds down like the
Porsche Boxster and that is the top of the top we see in the photo?).
* Smaller side "wing" windows.
* Looks like some kind of folding windblocker between the roll hoops.
* Dual exhaust is still there.
* High Stop Light is relocated to the top front edge of the trunk/boot
* Antenna is back on the right rear fender.
* Rumour is that there will be a folding metal roof option instead of
the hardtop option.

I wonder if conspiracy theorists would read anything into the stop light
location and BMW symbol in chalk on the track in the 4th photo!

Thanks for hunting these out and sending through zorruno.

The shape of the boot is interesting, there appears to be a "lump" visible
in picture three and also in picture 4, maybe they ar expanding the boot
room with a bit of a lift to the lid.

I don't know that I would pay much attention to the aerials on the car, one
looks like a UHF collinear and is probably taking telemetry off the car, it
would be sited where it gets the best available ground plane
