Mazda Celebrates 35 Years of MX-5 with Premium Model

The 2025 Mazda MX-5 35th Anniversary Edition makes its grand debut at the prestigious Rolex 24 at Daytona, showcasing an exclusive combination of premium features and classic roadster design. Limited to just 230 units for the Canadian market, this special edition MX-5 pairs Mazda's newest Artisan Red Metallic paint with a sophisticated beige soft top, creating a striking tribute to three and a half decades of pure driving enjoyment.

The anniversary celebration at Daytona International Speedway provides the perfect backdrop for this remarkable vehicle's introduction, with the unveiling taking place alongside a carefully curated display of historic MX-5 models from Mazda's private collection. The 2025 MX-5 35th Anniversary Edition, priced at $43,700, represents the pinnacle of Mazda's sports car engineering, combining premium materials with enhanced performance features.

Distinctive Design Elements  

The Artisan Red Metallic exterior finish introduces Mazda's fourth Takuminuri paint process, creating a deep, multidimensional colour that shifts and changes with varying light conditions. This sophisticated paint technology requires a precise three-layer application process, resulting in a uniquely premium appearance. The exterior design is further enhanced by bright-finish 17-inch wheels and an available colour-matched rear spoiler, while serialized badging on the front fender confirms each vehicle's place in this limited production run.

Premium Interior Experience  

Inside the cabin, the 35th Anniversary Edition elevates the classic roadster experience with tan Nappa leather seating, featuring embossed anniversary logos in the headrests. The attention to detail extends to the matching tan carpeting and floor mats, while the interior trim around the air conditioning vents and upper door panels showcases the rich properties of the Artisan Red exterior colour. The carefully crafted interior environment demonstrates Mazda's commitment to driver-focused luxury.

Performance and Technology  

Building on the GT trim level's foundation, this anniversary edition comes exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission, perfect for driving enthusiasts who value precise control and engagement. The performance-focused chassis includes sport-tuned Bilstein dampers, shock tower bracing, and an asymmetric limited-slip differential, ensuring exceptional handling characteristics. Modern convenience features include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, Alexa Built-in functionality, and a navigation system integrated into the 8.8-inch Mazda Connect display.

Where Heritage Embraces Innovation  

The 2025 MX-5 35th Anniversary Edition represents the most capable version of Mazda's beloved roadster, combining three and a half decades of engineering excellence with modern technology and premium materials.
