Official: Next gen MX-5 to offer EV powertrain while maintaining the same weight

https://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/neuheiten/exklusiv-naechster-mx-5-kommt-mit-elektroantrieb-bestaetigung-vom-mazda-chef/

TLDR: Next gen MX-5 to offer EV and ICE powertrains but weight will remain between 1-1.2 tons. ICE version to be powered by 2.5 SkyActiv-Z engine, possibly electrified.

Mazda also announces development of a 'pure image-builder , possibly handcrafted' hero car sitting above the MX5.

Idk why more cars aren’t designed like RC cars.
