Mazda Philippines has rolled out a special but very limited version of the 2024 Mazda MX-5. It’s called the MX-5 Miata Cup 23rd Anniversary Edition, and appropriately enough, only 23 of these will be sold in the Philippines.
Mazda MX-5 Miata Cup 23rd Anniversary Edition
The 2024 MX-5 Miata Cup 23rd Anniversary Edition was launched together with the updated regular versions of the 2024 Mazda MX-5 Soft Top and Retractable Roof (RF) models. It commemorates the 23 years of the Miata Cup, the oldest one-make race in the country.
Specs-wise, this special edition MX-5 is based on the MX-5 Soft Top MT. It gets the same 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G inline-4 gasoline engine with the same tune. At the maximum, it can put out 181 horsepower and 205 Nm of torque.
Additionally, it also gets the same five-speed manual transmission, the new asymmetric limited-slip differential (A-LSD), the dynamic stability control with track mode (DSC-Track), and Kinematic Posture Control (KPC).
Its interior is likewise kitted out with pretty much the same amenities as the MX-5 Soft Top MT. This includes a Bose speaker system, as well as the new 8.8-inch infotainment display with thinner bezels and wireless Apple CarPlay.
The big difference between the regular MX-5 Soft Top MT and this special edition model, however, is the latter’s lack of advanced driver assist systems (ADAS). So yes, it does not get Mazda’s updated i-Activesense kit for the 2024 MX-5 which added Smart Brake Support front and rear, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert, among others.

In addition, the 2024 MX-5 Miata Cup 23rd Anniversary Edition gets a special exterior look thanks to an eye-catching livery by designer Jaykee Evangelista and implemented on the cars by design engineer Lloyd Pua.
This special version of the 2024 MX-5 retails at Php 2,230,000. That’s Php 70,000 less compared to the regular MX-5 Soft Top MT with the black top and black leather interior.
