What to Know About the 2019 MX-5 Miata 30th Anniversary EditionSince 1989, the Mazda Miata has been the premier two-seater sports car across the globe. Nimble, quick, and visually stunning, it has all the hallmarks of a modern-day classic. In 2019, Mazda commemorates its design achievements with the release of the MX-5 Miata 30th Anniversary Edition. For collectors and brand enthusiasts, this coupe is the holy grail of the Miata line. Here’s everything you should know about its upcoming release.

Racing Orange Paint Job

If you can’t decide what color to paint the kitchen, choosing the right hue for your vehicle can often pose a difficult problem. Fortunately, Mazda takes the decision out of your hands with a sole hue: Racing Orange. This vibrant shade will adorn each 30th Anniversary Edition Miata, symbolizing  “sunrise and anticipation” and “evoking the breaking dawn of an exciting new day.” With any luck, you’ll like what you see.

Engine Specs 

Mazda brought the regular 2019 MX-5 Miata to showrooms with a souped-up new engine with high-rev technology. Because of its sprightly performance, the Japanese automaker decided a special engine for the 30th Anniversary Edition was unnecessary. Once you’re behind the wheel, you’ll agree.

Under the hood, the Miata 30th Anniversary Edition sports a SKYACTIV-G 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that’s capable of 181 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque. While this engine may seem undersized in the sports car world, the Miata also sheds some weight, providing even more acceleration and top speed. The addition of high-rev technology also provides a more spirited performance on the open road. A zero-to-60-mph clip of 5.7 seconds and a quarter-mile of 14.5 seconds to go along with a top speed of 140 mph are a testament to this upgraded technology and ingenious engineering.

Interior Amenities

Although the Miata offers close quarters and room for only two passengers, it’s surprisingly comfortable thanks to sport bucket seats. The 30th Anniversary Edition goes one step further with customized Recaro seats, designed to cradle your body at break-neck speeds.

The roadster also comes with a slew of interior amenities to provide a full-on driving experience. A Bose premium sound system with nine speakers blares your favorite tunes in crystal-clear quality. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto also come standard on the 30th Anniversary Edition, allowing you to seamlessly integrate your mobile device for access to apps, navigation, and your music library.

The finishing touch on this Miata is Alcantara leather. This soft-touch leather not only adorns the seats, but also the dashboard and door trim. Not only does this provide excellent comfort, but it also adds a visual aesthetic that will impress your passengers and delight the senses.

Quantities

Mazda plans to release the 2019 MX-5 Miata 30th Anniversary Edition in limited quantities. With only 3,000 rolling off assembly lines, collectors will have to make a mad dash to the ordering department to get their hands on one.

Emphatic styling, superb acceleration, and a vibrant Racing Orange tone give the 2019 MX-5 Miata 30th Anniversary Edition an intrigue unlike any other. But you’ll have to act quick. They’re sure to sell out quickly.
