Last year at the 2010 SEMA Show, Mazda showed up with something called the MX-5 Super20 – well, it’s now back at this year’s SEMA Show in Vegas with a blazing Hyper Orange Mica exterior treatment but keeps its dark and edgier edgier Mr. Hyde attitude in comparison to its more sociable Dr. Jekyll MX-5 Miata persona.

While no performance figures are available, the Mazda MX-5 Super20 gets an upgraded 2.0 liter 4-cylinder featuring a Cosworth supercharger, Racing Beat 304-stainless steel header and exhaust, Racing Beat hollow front and rear anti-roll bars, ACT organic street clutch, MAZDASPEED coil overs and a shock tower brace, Power Slot slotted brake rotors, StopTech stainless steel brake lines and street performance brake pads, SpeedSource front brake ducts, black 16-inch Enkei RPF1 twin-spoke racing wheels and a remapped ECU.

On the outside the soft-top is replaces with permanent glossy black hardtop. The interior gets a color-matched roll bar, black leather seats feature suede seat inserts and channel stitching and orange contrast stitching.

Mazda MX-5 Miata fans are being spoiled today at the 2011 SEMA Show with two concepts of the world’s best-selling two-seat roadster.

The first is the Mazda MX-5 Miata Spyder, which features a single-panel grenadine-red soft-top made by Haartz Corporation. Its design, a collaborative effort between MNAO Design and Magna Car Top Systems, offers an even lower slung stance of the MX-5 without sacrificing headroom – or whatever little there was in the first place.

The exterior of the Mazda MX-5 Spyder is painted Stratosphere White with 17-inch wheels wrapped in Yokohama AO48 225/45R17 performance tires.

Power for the Mazda MX-5 Spyder comes from the same 2.0 liter 4-cylinder turbo engine. The concept is fueled by BP’s isobutanol – a biofuel that offers top notch performance with little impact on the environment. The concept also features a lightweight lithium-ion racing battery made by Braille Battery. It also features a Racing Beat header, intake and exhaust muffler as well as a MazdaSpeed coil over kit and Brembo brakes.
