Although we probably won't get to see it until Thursday as 'tomorrow' translates to 6pm US time...

We know some of the basics - what are you hoping for?

Let's hope for:

Less than 1100kg for the RC (we can hope)
200 bhp and 200 ft/lbs N/A (biggest issue I have with my NC is lack of torque)
Soul red as a colour option (did you see the Anniversary edition at the FoS? yummy)
Black Alcantara
Dark wheels

Other than that, if its as good as my NC I will be on the waiting list.

You want 200 bhp and 200 ft/lbs from natural aspiration in a car launched in 2015/16? Get off! It will be turboed...
Well it is a wish list!! Although BBR claim to do it for the existing MX-5, I agree with your sentiment as that doesn't have to meet emission and consumption expectations.

Well I got the Soul Red and dark wheels right... not sure it looks a whole heap different from the NC - the windscreen surround and wing mirrors look identical...
