Mazda MX-5 RF Launch Edition (USA)
The hard-top Miata is getting ready for
its market launch and Mazda will mark the occasion with a limited ‘Launch
Edition’ offered in the US market. After the model’s universal appraisal at the
last New York Auto Show, Mazda will offer the exact same specification of that
show car in the first 1,000 copies.
The 2017 Mazda MX-5 RF
Launch Edition will be finished in Machine Grey Metallic with a black roof
panel over an Auburn Nappa leather interior trim. The rest of the specs are
based on the Grand Touring trim level, with Mazda only offering one option to
prospective customers between a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic
gearbox.
This special edition is destined for
Mazda’s most loyal customers. The company will initially open up the preorders
to a select group of customers who will be notified via email. Mazda will give
them a specific window of time to preorder the RF Launch Edition before
ordering opens to the general public.
With each car customers will also get a
custom-designed and numbered 42 mm Tourneau watch to complement their new car.
Those who may miss out on getting their hands on the Launch Edition of the MX-5
RF will still be able to get a Retractable Fastback model with many of the same
color and interior combos.
Regular production RF models will arrive
at US dealerships in the first quarter of 2017 in either Grand Touring or Club
trim levels. Mazda USA will announce the specific timing for ordering as well
as pricing in the coming weeks.
