A LIMITED edition of the Mazda MX-5 sports car will be available from May 2023 priced from £30,265.

Based on the 1.5-litre 132ps Exclusive-Line Roadster, the £30,265 Kizuna features a blue or grey paint job with a blue fabric hood.

Inside it is finished with light stone leather and the car sits on 16-inch alloy wheels.

It is the first special edition MX-5 since 2021 when the Sport Venture model was launched.

Across more than three decades, special edition MX-5 models have proved popular with sports car enthusiasts looking for a car with unique details, extra equipment and an added dose of exclusivity.

Just 250 examples are coming to the UK with 170 cars in grey and the remaining 80 cars in blue.

Commenting on the launch of the MX-5 Kizuna, Jeremy Thomson, managing director of Mazda in the UK, said: "When it comes to driver engagement, the current generation MX-5 has already established itself as a benchmark sports car, and with the 2023 Mazda MX-5, and now the Kizuna, we continue to offer one of the most exciting and satisfying to drive cars money can buy.

"The MX-5 is Mazda's brand icon and it embodies all that is great about our products, its fun to drive character has strengthened the bond between Mazda and its customers for over 30 years and the 2023 model continues this unswerving dedication to delivering an affordable world-class sports car, while the Kizuna continues our long heritage of offering uniquely styled limited edition versions."
