Anyone who has driven a Mazda MX-5 knows why they long ago reached cult status. That go-kart like drive, close to the ground exhilaration and overall human-machine connection was really nailed by Mazda. To celebrate 30 years of an icon the Mazda MX-5 30th Anniversary Edition has been revealed at the Chicago Auto Show.
Over that time more than 1 million units have landed in driveways so Mazda has added some icing on the cake. A new exclusive colour, ‘Racing Orange’ has been created along with unique forged alloy wheels. Just 3,000 hard-top and soft-top special edition 2.0L Roadster GT based MX-5’s will be built, but us Aussies will score just 30 on a first in best dressed basis. No word on pricing just yet.
