Just barely two weeks ago, the leaked renderings of the facelifted Mazda MX-5 hit the net. It was mostly a tease since it only showcased the outline and only half of the image with decent enough shadings for a bit of detail. Well, good news to those looking for a more definitive image as the first official photo has been released.

With this image we get more detail on how this latest incarnation sports a more angled contour than the previous model. The fascia does indeed have a front splitter. And the “dumb smile” look made by the headlight and grille that was pretty apparent in the rendering is now toned down given the actual look of the car.

Not much other details is made available regarding the car but again, as the Paris show looms, we expect to get the rest of the details regarding the car.
