Confirmed: The Mazda MX-5 will morph into an electric car sports car as the brand promises to “keep the joy of driving” in the EV era and rival the Tesla Roadster – Car News

The Mazda MX-5 will live on in the EV era, with the brand’s global CEO vowing to electrify every model in its line-up by 2030.

The news follows the brand’s recent teasing of the Vision Study, a small and sporty-looking performance car that didn’t feature any exhaust pipes, suggesting the model was electric.

Mazda at the time wouldn’t be drawn on whether we were looking at the replacement for the MX-5, instead simply promising to “build a future filled with great energy and joy”.
