Mazda2 and MX-5 Black Limited Edition Unleashed

Inspired by this year’s successful MX-5 GT race car, two new ‘Black Limited Edition’ models have been introduced to the automaker’s range – a Mazda MX-5 Sport Black and a Mazda2 Black. Only 500 examples of the Mazda MX-5 Sport Black will be produced, each costing £22,995 (OTR).

The model also comes with black leather interior with contrasting ‘sand’ color stitching, Piano Black steering wheel and deco panel, and unique ‘Black Limited Edition’ exterior badging, uniquely numbered interior plaque and Limited Edition floor mats.

The MX-5 Sport Black incorporates the Sport Tech trim including climate control air-conditioning, a premium Bose audio system, an integrated hands-free Bluetooth system, cruise control and front fog lights. The folding powered retractable roof, which goes up or down in 12 seconds, is also include.
