Continuing their celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the world’s best-selling roadster, Mazda has introduced a new ‘summer special edition’ version of its convertible sportscar for the UK, named the Mazda MX-5 Miyako.
The name ‘Miyako’ is taken from the idyllic Japanese holiday island of Miyako-jima, considered by many to be one of the most beautiful spots in Japan and the perfect location for open-top motoring.
The new Miyako comes equipped with an interior benefitting from unique Medici premium perforated black leather trim with a red underlay and stitching, special badging, floor mats and climate control air-conditioning. The exterior includes front fog lamps, larger 17-inch alloy wheels, a front suspension strut brace (for improved steering response), and free metallic paint. As with previous special editions the engines remain unchanged so the 1.8i 126ps Miyako soft-top accelerates to the same 62mph in 9.9 seconds as the standard model, while the 2.0i Miyako roadster coupe with its 160ps engine undercuts that time by two seconds.
Both versions of the MX-5 Miyako will be available in Aluminium Silver Metallic, while the soft-top will also be available in Velocity Red Mica – free of charge. Just 500 examples of each version will be manufactured for the UK market and we expect them to be snapped up quickly. The new model, which is on sale from 1 July, is available in two versions – the 1.8i Miyako soft-top priced at £18,385 (on-the-road) and the more powerful 2.0i Miyako roadster coupe with the world’s fastest folding powered roof (up or down in 12 seconds), priced at £20,885 (on-the-road).
To recognize its hard work, Mazda always comes up investing with events. Here they usually emphasize its center traits, style and spirits, etc.
