Japanese automaker Mazda is set to showcase the fourth-generation of MX-5 vehicles that include the 2016 MX-5 Spyder Concept and 2016 MX-5 Speedster Concept at the 2015 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
The company has released a teaser image consisting half-and-half of both concept cars pasted together.

Mazda said that the cars will be available in different conceptual and aftermarket pieces and fabrication from its partners including Racing Beat, Haartz Corporation, ASC - American Sunroof Corporation, Makin Industries/RAYS Wheels, KW Suspensions, Delta Seat, and H&R Springs.
