Mazda unveiled The MX-5 25th Anniversary Limited Edition at The Festival of Speed
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of its iconic 2-seater roadster, the MX-5, Mazda this year made a welcome return to the Goodwood Festival of Speed, which ran from Thursday 26th to Sunday 29th June, and not in its usual guise. A Mazda6, a Mazda CX-5 and several Mazda MX-5s starred in Goodwood's unique Moving Motor Show on Thursday 26th, and a Mazda RX-7 rally car stormed up the famous hill throughout the Festival of Speed weekend.
A striking pavilion design statement, the main Mazda stand featured the Hazumi B-segment concept car (the basis for the all-new Mazda2), the all-new, sixth generation Mazda3, Mazda6 and Mazda CX-5, and several displays of Mazda's performance- and economy-enhancing SKYACTIV technology, including diesel and petrol engines and both manual and automatic transmissions.
The Mazda MX-5 itself was represented by both a Sport Venture special edition model and a pair of roadsters in which visitors to the stand took part in the Mazda Photomash ‘Mazda Mashup’ for a chance to win an MX-5 for a year.
Mazda's second and unique, Laundry Green stand, a space close to Goodwood House, is a celebration of 25 years of the MX-5. A wide range of owners' Mazda MX-5s from across the years were on display, including 10th and 20th Anniversary, California, Le Mans, Sport Black and Sport Graphite special/limited editions.
A range of sports cars that inspired the design of the first, 1989 Mazda MX-5 -including the Lotus Elan and MG Midget - were also featured, alongside a rare Mazda MX-5 GT4 race car and the chassis of the all-new Mazda MX-5.
