Mazda unveils 500 unit limited MX-5 'Sport Graphite' Roadster

Inspired by urban design, the exterior features an eye catching paint finish that is unique to this model. The U.K. exclusive roadster is available in several colours - Aquatic Blue Mica, Zeal Red Mica or Aluminium Silver Metallic - with a contrasting 'Meteor Grey' retractable hard top roof to create a highly distinctive appearance. The limited edition features the generous equipment levels of the standard model enhanced with an array of extra items.

Every 'Sport Graphite' wears 17-inch dark gunmetal alloy wheels, black leather heated seats with unique grey stitching and feature a 5.8-inch TomTom navigation system with integrated Bluetooth hands-free kit. Limited edition badges are adorned on the exterior and interior on top of other items unique to this model.

On the inside the unique grey stitching is extended to the leather steering wheel and handbrake while you get an alloy pedal set among other detail enhancements.

For optimum handling stability, all MX-5 models also feature Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and Traction Control System (TCS). While the 2.0-litre Roadster Coupe model is also equipped with a Limited Slip Differential (LSD), cruise control, auto-dimming rear view mirror and Bilstein suspension.

The first buyer of the Mazda MX-5 'Sport Graphite' of each dealer will also receive a signed limited copy graphite pencil drawing of the car - drawn exclusively for Mazda by hyperrealist artist Paul Cadden.

"With just 500 models available in the U.K., the 'Sport Graphite' is sure to be highly sought-after, offering exclusivity to owners of Mazda's latest enhancement to the range of MX-5 sportscars and an excuse to escape the city," commented Peter Allibon, Sales Director, Mazda U.K.
