An all-new generation of Mazda’s small, lightweight roadster has been revealed on the car’s 25th anniversary.

The new 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata is brand new from the ground up though its sole purpose of providing a low-cost lightweight sports car remains. This generation is wider and lower than today’s Miata, with a new sleek body and design that is easily the biggest jump in terms of styling from generation to generation for the car.

Concrete details on the 2016 MX-5 are still mostly in the dark, though we do know that it will weight roughly 220 pounds less that today’s car, pegging the curb weight around 2450 pounds. As for the engine, it will likely be a small 2.0- or 2.5-liter four-cylinder powerplant. Rumor has is there will also be turbocharged version of the car that will sell at a higher price.
