There is not the slightest doubt that the Mazda MX-5, also known as Miata, is one of the most beloved cars on the market. The best proof of this is that it is the world's best selling roadster. This year 2019 celebrates its thirtieth anniversary - which is said soon - and the Hiroshima brand wants to celebrate it in style.
The first MX-5 was publicly unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show 1989. Now, 30 years later, this same scenario has been chosen for the Japanese firm to present a special edition as a tribute of which only 3.000 units for the whole world, of which 50 will arrive in Spain. That's how he is Mazda MX-5 30th Anniversary.
The Japanese brand has not wanted to get too complicated looking for a clearly differentiated aesthetic based on design, but rather has tried to make changes that really increase the attention to the potential customer of a Miata. I mean the improvement in equipment and, of course, in behavior; although they have also put their touch on the exterior aesthetics.
The first thing that strikes us about the Mazda MX-5 30th Anniversary is the color. We are used to most of the models that the company presents us debuting with the famous “Soul Red”, and we cannot deny that the “Racing Orange” that you saw in this limited edition has shocked us. Curiosities aside, they are also interesting the forged wheels 17-inch Rays.
Following with the specific equipment Of the 30th Anniversary Miata, it is worth mentioning the front Brembo calipers in orange, or the Nissin rear ones in the same color. On the fin there is a plate with the unit number of this edition.
Meanwhile, in the cabin The Recaro sports seats with orange seams and trim stand out, as well as the trims for the ventilation outlets or the door panels and dashboard in Alcantara, also finished in an orange tone. This same main color appears in the seams of the steering wheel, gear knob and handbrake, which are covered in leather.
The chosen mechanic is 2.0 Skyactiv-G 184 hp propeller presented a few months ago associated with a six-speed manual gearbox. The most notable point regarding its technical part, in addition to the front Brembo and rear Nissin brakes, are the Bilstein shock absorbers that, although they are already equipped in some versions of the Japanese roadster, it is still an interesting element.
