Mazda Motor Corporation started production of the Mazda MX-5 RF
retractable hardtop (known as Roadster RF in Japan) yesterday at
Ujina Plant No.1 near its global headquarters in Hiroshima.
Production began with models bound for North American and European
markets where sales launches begin from early 2017. In Japan, the
MX-5 RF will go on sale later this year.
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.
Mazda will continue its efforts to enrich people's lives through a
variety of touchpoints, including the production of high-quality
cars, and become a brand with which customers feel a strong
emotional connection.
