Mazda MX5

The philosophy behind the MX5 is to be lightweight and very mechanically simple, whilst still being within global safety regulations. the styling of the car is based off British roadsters from the 1960's taking a lot of it's lines and styling queues from the Lotus Elan. Over the years this car has received a cult following, especially resonating with JDM enthusiasts.
