Mazda Unveils MX-5 30th Anniversary Edition in Racing Orange (video)
After 30 years and with more than 1 million examples sold, Mazda feels that the M-5 is no longer its own creation. It belongs to the fans around the world who have supported the development of the model. To express its gratitude, and its high hopes for the future of the MX-5, the company developed Racing Orange, an exclusive body colour that evokes the breaking dawn of an exciting new day.

Sales will be limited to 3,000 units worldwide, including both soft-top and retractable hardtop models.
Mazda will continue to make cars that exceed expectations and provide driving pleasure in everyday driving situations. The company aims to build a strong bond with customers and become an indispensable presence in their lives.

Your connection to an MX-5 begins with your first glance. Nothing else on the road looks like Mazda’s magic roadster, which is still turning heads 30 years after its introduction. Mazda offers two soft-top colour options for 2019, giving you the choice of either classic black or new available brown. Let people see your style whenever you drive with the top up. .
Improving on the MX-5’s impressive legacy, the 2019 MX-5 Miata has received a boost. With a significant increase of 26 more horsepower, from 155 to 181 and a thrilling 7,500 redline, this roadster is more powerful than ever – while staying extremely lightweight.
Adding power was easy. Retaining lightness, at the same time, takes true innovation. The improvements to MX-5’s SKYACTIV-G 2.0L engine have created a vehicle with increased power and nearly no weight penalty. That’s a difference you’ll feel through every curve and corner.
The MX-5 is designed to be complete only after you take a seat behind the wheel. Only then does it achieve a nearly perfect 50/50 front-to-rear weight distribution – the ideal balance for optimal handling and performance.
MX-5 was born for the track and twisty roads. By pushing their cars to the extreme in fast-paced and unforgiving environments, Mazda learns valuable lessons about safety, performance, efficiency and reliability. That translates into a better car for you – Canada’s enthusiast drivers – both on the road and on the track. After all, more Mazda’s are road-raced on any given weekend than any other brand of car.
