    Holy hell!

    It's like they've been reading Miata forums and doing everything we've been doing to our Miatas to make them the way they should've been: supercharged, intercooled, bigger injectors, built motor, modified ECU, tires, exhaust, lowered suspendion, etc.

    And it only took 20 years!

    ^ This!!! Would definitely rock one.

    Looks like they had FM's help with this too:

    Remember the supercharged Miata we helped Mazda Germany build and was so well received by the German press? They're considering a production run of 100. The new MX-5 Yusho on display at the Leipzig show is what the production version would be like. The centerpiece, of course, is the FM supercharger.
    Yusho apparently means "victory" in Japanese.
    I've got a lot less horsepower - luckily they are Japanese horses - usually in better shape and more motivated.

    It's just a modded NC. I wish they'd have rolled out an ND with all this.

    Truthfully I really hated all of the ND concepts that I have seen so far though
