Mazda unveils MX-5 30th anniversary edition

Three decades after the 1989 Chicago Motor Show was the stage for the debut of the MX-5, Mazda has unveiled the MX-5 30^th Anniversary Edition at the 2019 Chicago Motor Show.

Launched as both a tribute to these MX-5 fans and as a mark of the high hopes the firm has for the future of its sports car, the 30^th Anniversary Edition is exclusively offered in the newly developed Racing Orange body paint, a strikingly vivid colour that marks out this special MX-5.

In addition to Racing Orange, the MX-5 30^th Anniversary Edition features forged aluminium Rays wheels developed exclusively for the MX-5 and a 30^th anniversary badge displaying the model's serial number.

Other unique features include orange brake calipers, and Brembo front brakes.

Inside, the bespoke feel continues with orange accents on the seats, door trim, dashboard, steering wheel, air vents and gear lever, while Recaro seats and Alcantara trim on the door trim and instrument panel add a sense of exclusivity. The 30^th Anniversary Edition also features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard.

Sales will be limited to 3,000 units worldwide, including both soft-top and retractable hard-top models.
