AN EXCLUSIVE edition of Mazda’s MX-5 roadster is being released, complete with a special paint finish, upgraded interior and stylish alloy wheels.
Priced from £27,700 – a £1600 premium over the 1.5-litre model on which it is based – only 150 examples of the MX-5 R-Sport will be produced for the UK by the Japanese marque.
The special two-seater comes with a grey polymetal paintjob, a grey hood and sits on 16in Rays alloys. Inside, there’s a bespoke trim featuring burgundy Nappa leather upholstery finished off with silver stitching.
The R-Sport is based on the 1.5-litre 132PS Skyactiv-G Sport trim MX-5 and is the latest in the Japanese car brand’s tradition of personalised, limited-volume MX-5s.
Standard kit includes sat nav, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cruise control, heated seats and climate control. Deliveries will begin once the current retail restrictions come to an end.
Jeremy Thomson, Mazda’s UK managing director, said: “I’m delighted that we can offer an exclusive MX-5 Convertible model to our customers.
“With it joining the rest of the Convertible and RF models in the line-up, we now have a great choice of MX-5s in our updated 2020 Mazda MX-5 range, which means that anyone wanting to drive a distinctive and stylish roadster can find what they need.”
