Mazda’s MX-5 Miata 35th Anniversary Edition Is One Very Special Miata – Road & Track

Marking 35 Years of Zoom-Zoom: Mazda’s MX-5 Miata Celebration

Mazda fans, rev your engines! The beloved MX-5 Miata is celebrating its 35th anniversary with a special edition that’s as exciting as its first drive off the production line. This isn’t just another Miata; it’s a testament to Mazda’s commitment to fun, affordable sports cars.

The 35th Anniversary Edition, due to grace American roads in 2025, is more than a retrospective. It’s a love letter to the past with a keen eye on the future. Under the hood, you’ll find the familiar Soul Red Crystal Machine Grey Metallic paint job, a nod to the 1993 RT-240 piste race car. But unlike its predecessor, this Miata wearseful retro touches with pride, like the rectangular headlights and five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels.

Inside, the anniversary theme continues. The black leather seats feature special 35th anniversary embroidery, while the door panels bear a serialized plaque to mark your car’s place in history. But don’t worry, Mazda hasn’t let nostalgia cloud its judgment. You’ll still find modern amenities like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.

But what about the drive? After all, that’s what matters most to Miata fans. The 35th Anniversary Edition promises to deliver the same thrills that have made the MX-5 a roadster icon. With a 181-horsepower 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G engine and a six-speed manual transmission, it’s all about driver engagement and pure joy.

Pricing for this special edition hasn’t been announced yet, but considering the limited numbers and rabid fanbase, expect these Miatas to disappear quicker than ice cream on a hot day. So, if you’re craving a slice of motorsport history, you’d better act fast. The 35th Anniversary Edition Miata isn’t just a car; it’s a celebration of everything that makes driving fun.
