Speculation on miata.net is leaning towards it getting the ~270 hp 2.3 liter turbo engine from the upcoming Mazdaspeed6 since the Miata already has an engine from the same MZR family.

Not to mention the car weighs about 2500 lbs tops.
The Miata has a cam-phasing variable valve timing setup. No cam switching.

That is also Honda's detuned bottom of the line 2.0.
