MAZDA MX-5 S Special Package

This is the Mazda Roadster (ND5RC), a landmark model among Japanese lightweight sports cars.
It features the “Soul Red Crystal Metallic” body color, which accentuates its beautiful styling.
It is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission (6MT) that maximizes the joy of driving.

Developed around the concept of Jinba Ittai (horse and rider as one), the Roadster is an open-top, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive (FR) sports car characterized by its lightweight, compact design and perfect 50:50 front-to-rear weight distribution. It achieves remarkable lightness—weighing in at around just one ton—while still meeting today’s stringent safety standards. By positioning the engine in a front-midship layout, it delivers superb handling that allows the car to respond precisely to the driver’s intentions.

The specially designed 6-speed manual transmission features an exquisite short-throw action that allows for precise gear changes with just a flick of the wrist. By thoroughly minimizing friction in the linkage, the tactile feedback of the gears engaging is transmitted directly to your palm, letting you fully experience the joy of driving and a sense of unwavering control.

The natural pedal layout makes rev-matching during downshifts effortless. Combined with an engine that revs eagerly and freely, this delivers smooth gear changes and rapid response. Mazda’s proprietary “Soul Red” paint technology further accentuates the car’s dynamic styling through a stunning interplay of light and shadow.

An engine feel that responds briskly to every touch of the accelerator.
Steering that reacts as if it were an extension of your own body.
Why not experience the thrill of the Roadster—Japan’s quintessential lightweight FR sports car?
