New Mazda MX-5 Icon Edition
When Mazda rolls into Goodwood later
this month for the Festival of Speed, it won't just bring any ordinary version
of its MX-5 roadster. It will introduce a new special edition – the first to be
based on the more frugal 1.5-liter model.
Dubbed the Icon edition, the special
Miata is distinguished by red accents on the door mirrors, spoiler, front
splitter, and stripe decals. Buyers will be able to choose between Meteor Grey
Mica or Crystal White Pearlescent paint, offset by 16-inch gunmetal-finish
alloys. The Mazda MX-5 Icon also benefits from black leather seats and upgraded
equipment including automatic headlights, wipers, and rear parking sensor.
Following the previous Icon editions
launched in 2000, 2005, and 2007, this latest rendition will be the most
exclusive yet. Only 600 examples will be made available in the UK, with
deliveries to begin in August for £ 20,995.
