Just another random mock-up, maybe based on an NA with a touch of NB. Anyone notice that the front brake calipers are in the wrong place? No MX5 would ever have them there - so that questions the provenance of this piece of bull.

??? Was talking about the Fiat MX5 in the Auto Express cover that Dre first posted. Nothing to do with Ferraris.

Just another unofficial render. If it's not, Fiat are raiding the parts bin to build the car. 500X headlights, Bravo rear diffuser, 500 Abarth wheels.

Oh wow, that rear's awful. Not that it will look anything like that.

The more interesting question is if there'll be an Abarth version.

The rear end isn't so great, now that picture's been uncovered.

But it's not like the ND's rear end is much better; it's pretty horrid itself.
