  • Mazda Mx-5 Press Information
    ALL NEW MAZDA MX-5 PRESS INFORMATION EVOLUTION OF AN ICON: “JInba Ittai” and “Lots of Fun” Jinba Ittai—or “Rider and horse as one” in Western terms—is the essence of the MX- 5. Jinba Ittai drove all of the development team’s decisions, yielding a car so nimble and fun to drive that the driver and car achieve true unity. This unified rider and horse concept allowed us to create a new MX-5 that’s true to the spirit of the original, exceptionally lightweight, and lots of fun to drive. –Mazda MX-5 program manager Takao Kijima CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION February 9, 1989, marks a highly significant moment in sports car history: this is the day that Mazda presented the original MX-5/Miata at the Chicago Auto Show. By updating the classic formula that had defined fun yet affordable two seat sports cars for decades, Mazda reinvented the concept of a lightweight roadster. Sixteen years later, Mazda’s focus on driving fun has only intensified. The classic roadster continues to evolve in the Hiroshima-based company’s care and the MX-5 is still the only two-seater dedicated to the idea of rider and horse as one. Proving that the MX-5 is a fundamental expression of Mazda’s soul, an all-new third-generation edition was unveiled at the 2005 Salon International de l’Auto in Geneva, Switzerland. Rethinking and re-engineering the MX-5 has provided Mazda the ideal opportunity to create the purest-ever expression of Zoom-Zoom motoring. Key changes for the third-generation MX-5 and the chapters where they are discussed in detail are: • A body structure that uses
