Based on the new 2024 MX-5 2.0L MT Black Top Black Leather variant, the MX-5 Miata Cup 23rd Anniversary Edition is dressed in bespoke racing livery designed by local artist Jaykee Evangelista, and inspired by classic motorsports liveries.

The MX-5 Miata Cup 23rd Anniversary Edition is offered in three distinct colorways:

• 19 units in Aero Gray with White-painted front & rear bumpers and White, Black, and Aero Gray decal
• 2 units in Snowflake White Pearl with Laguna Blue-painted front & rear bumpers, and White, Black, and Laguna Blue decals
• 2 units in Deep Crystal Blue with White-painted front & rear bumpers and White, Sky Blue, and Deep Crystal Blue decals

Regardless of colorway, all MX-5 Miata Cup 23rd Anniversary Edition roadsters have Orange side mirror caps, color-matched to Orange Mazda decals on the sides. The full livery comes with a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty.

Further emphasizing it as a limited-edition model, each unit will come with an aluminum satin-finished commemorative badge with a unique serial number. Upon purchase, buyers will also be able to customize their car by selecting their preferred competition car door number.

The MX-5 Miata Cup 23rd Anniversary Edition was uniquely developed by Mazda Japan for the Philippine market specifically in honor of the 23rd Anniversary of the Miata Cup. As a track-oriented model, it removes some i-ACTIVSENSE® safety and driver assist features such as Adaptive LED Headlights, Smart Brake Support-Rear, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert with Rear Cross Brake Support.

However, in keeping with the MX-5’s ethos as a daily-use sports car, the MX-5 Miata Cup 23rd Anniversary Edition is still equipped with modern niceties such as an 8.8-inch Mazda Connect infotainment screen with Dual USB Type-C ports, a 9-speaker Bose sound system, wireless Apple CarPlay, automatic climate control, and a reverse camera.

Further amplifying Mazda’s Jinba-Ittai—horse and rider as one—philosophy, the MX-5 Miata Cup 23rd Anniversary Edition offers the same performance features found on the 2024 MX-5 2.0L MT Black Top Black Leather variant such as Bilstein Dampers, a front strut bar, and Kinematic Posture Control (KPC). New for 2024 are Dynamic Stability Control with Track Mode (DSC-Track) and Asymmetric Limited Slip Differential (A-LSD).

Powering the MX-5 Miata Cup 23rd Anniversary Edition is the same naturally-aspirated 2.0-liter SKYACTIV-G engine with 184 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 205 Nm at 4,000 rpm. Exclusively routed through a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission, it offers a 0 to 100 kph time of just 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 219 km/h.

Priced at P 2,230,000, the MX-5 Miata Cup 23rd Anniversary Edition is the most affordable variant in the new 2024 MX-5 range. It is available to all customers with first deliveries to start by May 2024.

Commemorating the launch of the MX-5 Miata Cup 23rd Anniversary Edition, the Miata Club of the Philippines has also announced the ND Stock Series, a new racing class within the Miata Cup open to all stock fourth-generation MX-5 roadsters. All stock ND series MX-5s—both soft top and RF—are eligible to race in this class for as long as owners secure membership to the MCP.
