ICONIC DNA. PROGRESSIVE STYLE.
An adventurous evolution of the iconic MX-5 Miata Rf roadster, the MX-5 Miata RF isn’t just a hardtop, and it isn’t just a convertible. In about 13 seconds, its retractable roof slips away, retaining the poised fastback profile with sinuous lines that always seem to be in motion. Polished, charismatic, athletic.

JINBA ITTAI
A TRULY CONNECTED DRIVE
Imagine an archer on horseback, riding toward a target. He breathes in time with his horse’s gait. The horse steadies as the archer pulls back his arrow. Perfect shot. This relationship between horse and rider is what the ancient Japanese cavalry called Jinba Ittai. It’s this 900-year-old connection that we strive to engineer into every vehicle we make. And that bond is at its purest in
the MX-5 Miata RF.
