==In-game description==
The 4th generation Mazda Roadster, the code 'ND' model, was announced for the first time in physical form at the New York Auto Show in April 2014. Although this was only a display of the chassis, engine, drivetrain and suspension, it could immediately be seen that the heavy items were mounted low and towards the center of the chassis, that major efforts were made to reduce weight and that the driver sat slightly behind the center of the car. The display succeeded in raising expectations of fans worldwide.
The next major update was in September of the same year. The styling was revealed simultaneously in Japan, the US and Europe and its sale was announced to begin in 2015.
The car has a low nose and shoulder line and is wide and low overall. Its elegant lines are glamorous, but the size of the body is still smaller than the previous type NC model. The car was received well worldwide, both in terms of size and design.
In 2015 more details regarding the car began to surface. The size of the car is 3,915 mm x 1,735 mm x 1235 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,310 mm. The weight of the car is between 990 kg and 1,060 kg depending on the grade model. The engine is a 1,496 cc DOHC inline 4 producing 129 BHP / 15.3 kgfm. The transmission is offered in a 6-speed MT and a torque converter AT.
Pre-orders began in March 2015 and the available grade models were also introduced: the basic S model, the S special package with upgraded driving performance and the luxurious S leather package. The S model is not equipped with an LSD or rear stabilizer and the standard equipment is fairly simple. However, at the same time this grade model weighs less than a ton at 990 kg, giving you a taste of the true nature of the new 'ND' Roadster
*The Mazda Roadster was sold as the Mazda MX-5 in Europe and Mazda MX-5 Miata in the US.
===Brand Central===
If you're in the market for a rear-wheel drive sports car, you can't go wrong with this Mazda MX-5. This fourth generation model is known as the ND. More than 100 kg lighter than its predecessor, this popular model is seen as a return to the classic form. The S-segment NS is lightweight - just barely exceeding a ton - and a joy to drive.

One day I received a call from a protégé at Mazda Design. He wanted to know if I had any plans for the designing of a fourth-generation roadster. Now, whenever I start a project, I try to imagine how it will evolve some twenty years down the line. So here's what I told him. I said that while I had written a scenario for the first three generations at the start of the NA project... When it came to the fourth generation... I had nothing concrete. However, I added that were it to be mechanically similar to its forebears, the design should... Differ more than was the case in the evolution from NA to NB and NB to NC. Moreover... If the car were to be mechanically new, with an innovative layout or a different powertrain... It should look truly evolved. After that, I was never given an opportunity to observe the fourth-gen development. Whenever I asked the designers how things were going, they sought to reassure me. 'Don't worry,' they always said. 'You set us in the right direction.' In fact, they didn't even want to show me the car on the night before its world premiere. I took a stand. I said, 'Look, you know I can't keep a poker face, so are you willing to risk publicly disappointing me tomorrow?'End apostrophe missing in-game. So they showed me the car, and do you know what? The fourth-gen car had been designed in the right direction after all.

==Trivia==
*Early builds of Gran Turismo Sport (including at the game's inaugural launch event) depict a racing version of this car, fitted with a rear wing and a tow hooks. This particular car, which appeared under the name of Mazda Roadster S (ND) N200 was removed during development for unknown reasons. Only a top-down thumbnail remained inside the game files.
**It is possible to recreate said cut variant in GT7, by installing a rear wing, tow hooks, a roll cage in GT Auto, as well as the windshield banner along with a driver number in the Livery Editor.
