The Miata R-Sport Limited Edition model puts a fresh twist on the world’s best-selling roadster. Each one comes clad with a sparkling Polymetal Grey exterior, a new paint color that debuted on the 2020 MX-5 Miata. To complement this shiny new exterior color, the R-Sport Limited Edition boasts a sharp-looking gray cloth hood, striking 16-inch RAYS-brand gunmetal-finish alloy wheels, and bold Piano Black wing mirrors. On the inside, it’s just as distinctive. The Miata’s clean interior design is elevated by its burgundy Nappa leather seats and trim, and accented by silver contrast stitching.

Mazda U.K. Managing Director Jeremy Thomson expressed his excitement to present this stylish special edition model to British drivers. “When it comes to driver engagement, the current generation MX-5 has already established itself as a benchmark sports car, and with the 2020 Mazda MX-5, and now the R-Sport special edition, we continue to offer one of the most exciting and satisfying to drive cars money can buy,” he added.

The R-Sport Limited Edition will come loaded with everything you’d expect to find on the 1.5-liter Sport-trim Miata. These features include smartphone integration, heated seats, and built-in navigation capabilities. It also sports the same fan-favorite lightweight design and chassis that made the Miata a modern classic.

However, if you’re looking to take home one of these special-edition models, you’ll have to act fast. Mazda is only producing 150 of these exclusive roadsters. It will retail for £27,700, and you can register for one of these cars on the Mazda U.K. website.
