mazda celebrates its 100th anniversary with a lineup of retro-styled, limited-edition releases

in celebration of its 100th anniversary, mazda announced special edition releases of each of its passenger vehicle lineup. the models adopt a white-and-burgundy, two-tone color scheme that pays homage to mazda’s first passenger car R360 coupe, created in 1960. the micro-mini, stylish coupe had a personality of its own with futuristic design, lightweight features and innovative engineering. for a limited period until the end of march 2021, the special edition models are only available for pre-order in japan — but will soon be available worldwide. 

‘these special edition models were prepared as a token of our appreciation for those who have supported mazda this far, along with our determination to continue to cherish our founder’s aspiration of enriching people’s lives.’ mazda explains. ‘we owe these 100 years to the continued support from our customers, business partners, shareholders and fans all over the world, who have stuck with us through thick and thin every step of the way.’

the nine models  included in the release are the mazda2, mazda3, mazda6, CX-3, CX-30, CX-5, CX-8, roadster (MX-5) and roadster RF. each of the commemorative special edition vehicles is adorned in snowflake white pearl mica premium exterior paint, accented by red styling, and comes with an exclusive 100th anniversary logo. red leather seats and red carpet nod to the two-tone R360 coupe. the logo can found in both the exterior and interior of the models — including the wheel center cap, leather seats, carpet, the headrest and the key fob.
