Truly a member of the MX-5 family, the MX-5 RF fully embodies the core value of "Lots of Fun" that has defined the MX-5 throughout its 27-year history. This new two-seater lightweight sports car features a unique fastback design and offers an exhilarating open-air feel.

Production of the MX-5 reached 1 million units on April 22 this year. The model is highly acclaimed, boasting over 280 automotive awards from around the world. The fourth-generation MX-5 was named World Car of the Year and World Car Design of the Year in 2016.
