Mazda is set to reveal the 25th Anniversary Edition of its popular MX-5 Roadster at the 2014 New York Motor Show, featuring a newly developed SKYACTIV-Chassis.

Mazda Motor Corporation will unveil the new Mazda MX-5 Miata (Japanese name: Mazda Roadster) 25^th Anniversary Edition sportscar at the New York International Auto Show.

Over more than two decades, the MX-5 has come to symbolise Mazda's car making philosophy and the Japanese brand's tireless pursuit of driving pleasure

Since its launch in 1989, the Mazda MX-5 has consistently offered the kind of fun that only a lightweight sportscar can deliver, and has won a huge variety of fans from different countries, cultures and age groups.

More than 940,000 units have been produced so far (to end March 2014) and the model continues to hold the Guinness World Record for the best-selling two-seater sportscar.

Based on the 2.0-litre 158bhp Roadster Coupe model with power retractable hard-top and either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission, the 25^th Anniversary Edition MX-5 is available exclusively in Soul Red Metallic.

Meticulous attention to detail has been paid in every area of the vehicle such as the Brilliant Black-painted roof, A-pillars, and door mirror housings; the off-white leather seat upholstery and door trim, hand-finished dashboard decorative panel in Piano Black and the fitting of Bilstein dampers plus 17-inch Dark Gunmetal alloy wheels.

Mazda will also reveal the newly developed SKYACTIV-Chassis that will be used for the next generation Mazda MX-5. The engine and chassis are exhibited together, and it will be the first time that SKYACTIV technology has been displayed in a front-midship-engine layout and rear-wheel drive configuration.

The upcoming model has been engineered and developed to achieve outstanding body rigidity and crashworthiness, while also reducing the overall weight by more than 100kg.
