Mazda Celebrates 35 Years of the MX-5 Miata with a Special Edition
Mazda is commemorating 35 dynamic years of the beloved MX-5 Miata by debuting a limited Anniversary Edition. With a mere 300 units available to U.S. buyers and 1,000 in Japan, this exclusive release is bound to ignite enthusiasm among Miata aficionados.
Classic Looks, New Charm
Staying true to its roots, this special Miata retains its classic allure while incorporating unique touches. Dressed in Artisan Red Metallic, it’s complemented by a beige soft top and distinctive 17-inch silver wheels. Proudly displaying its heritage, a special badge marks its restricted production number. The interior is a luxurious retreat, with tan Nappa leather seats that transform the aesthetic when the rooftop is down. The 35th Anniversary emblem is meticulously embossed on the headrests, paired with tan carpets, floor mats, and refined Artisan Red accents on the dashboard and doors. Each vehicle also comes with a matching leather keychain, enhancing its collectible allure.
Enhanced Features and Performance
This exclusive model aligns closely with the Grand Touring trim of the Miata, offering amenities like heated seats, a premium Bose sound system, and an 8.8-inch infotainment screen that supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The driving experience is elevated thanks to the inclusion of Bilstein dampers, a limited-slip differential, and reinforced shock towers. Powered by the lively SKYACTIV-G 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, it continues to deliver a spirited 181 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. Driven purely with a six-speed manual transmission, it promises to please enthusiasts who cherish the manual driving experience.
Act Fast for This Collectible
For those eager to secure a piece of this storied legacy, quick action is essential. The 35th Anniversary Edition is priced starting at $36,250, with only a soft-top available to maintain its classic charm. Compared to the standard Miata, which starts at $29,330, and the Grand Touring model which begins at about $35,000, this special edition offers an intriguing opportunity for collectors and fans alike.
