Mazda will show the next generation at 6 p.m. Pacific on Wednesday, Sept. 3.

Mazda fans and racers have been less-than-patiently waiting to see the fourth generation of MX-5 ever since Mazda previewed the SKYACTIV chassis at the New York International Auto Show in April. Well, the wait is over. Mazda will hold simultaneous global reveals in Tokyo, Barcelona and Monterey tomorrow, Sept. 3. U.S.-based fans can tune-in on Mazda’s YouTube channel starting at 6:00 PM Pacific on Wednesday to watch the live reveal of the MX-5, as well as highlights of a performance by Duran Duran.

The MX-5 celebrated its 25th Anniversary on Feb. 10, 2014. It is the best-selling two-seat roadster of all time, with more than 930,000 models sold around the world since its 1989 debut, and is praised for always being affordable, lightweight and fun to drive. The world received its first sneak peek of the fourth generation of the car on April 16, 2014.

Of course, to racers, the MX-5 signifies something else – a great racecar in a variety of amateur and professional racing classes, as well as the basis for one of the most popular production-based racing classes on the planet, Spec Miata.

The new MX-5 will also be on display at the Miatas at Mazda Raceway event this coming weekend, one of the largest gatherings of MX-5 enthusiasts around the world.

Fans can follow the MX-5 conversation on Twitter through #LongLivetheRoadster or on Facebook.com/Mazda.
