The Mazda MX-5 Yamamoto Signature, introduced in 2021, is a limited-edition iteration of the iconic MX-5 Miata, paying tribute to Nobuhiro Yamamoto, the chief engineer behind the original MX-5. This special edition, available exclusively in Japan, celebrates the 30th anniversary of the MX-5 Miata’s victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1991. Under the hood, the MX-5 Yamamoto Signature retains the familiar SKYACTIV-G 2.0-liter engine, delivering an agile and responsive driving experience. With a manual transmission and rear-wheel-drive configuration, this variant captures the essence of the lightweight, spirited driving that defines the MX-5 lineage.

The exterior design of the MX-5 Yamamoto Signature features unique touches, including a Polymetal Gray exterior paint color and bespoke badges. The convertible soft-top, a signature element of the MX-5, complements the car’s timeless design. Inside the cabin, special attention is given to details, with Recaro seats and aluminum pedals contributing to the sporty and driver-centric atmosphere. Limited to just 110 units, each car is individually numbered, emphasizing the exclusivity of this commemorative edition. With the MX-5 Yamamoto Signature, Mazda pays homage to the MX-5’s enduring legacy and the engineering brilliance of Nobuhiro Yamamoto, delivering a blend of performance, style, and exclusivity for enthusiasts who appreciate the MX-5’s rich heritage.
