2015 Mazda MX-5 / Alfa Romeo Spider mule spied on the ‘Ring’

Another batch of spy photos have been released showing the new Mazda MX-5 / Alfa Romeo Spider which are both due in 2015.

While the previous set of photos were taken outside Chrysler’s Tech Center in Auburn Hills, the MX-5 mule seen in these latest spy images were taken on the Nürburgring tracks wearing the body of the current generation model but even so we can still see some changes in line for the Miata.

The doors look longer which indicates that the car will have a stretched wheelbase, while the extended wheel arches indicate that the model will come with a wider track. There also seems to be an added section in front of the A-pillar so the cars will adopt long hood, short deck proportions.

The company has not revealed any details about what will power the cars as of yet but both automakers have announced each will have its proprietary engines that will be unique to each brand. So we can expect the Alfa Romeo Spider to receive a 1.4-liter MultiAir rated at 120 HP while the Mazda could be equipped with a 1.3- or a 1.6-liter Skyactiv.
