IRVINE, Calif. (March 21, 2017) – Mazda Motorsports introduced the MX-5 Global Cup race car in 2014 as nature intended: as an open-top roadster.  Now, those who compete in series that require a hardtop have a factory-approved option, as today Mazda Motorsports has confirmed pricing and availability for the track-only, removable MX-5 Cup hardtop.

 

The hardtop will be priced at $4420.00, with orders being accepted exclusively through Mazda Motorsports from owners and those who have committed to purchasing an MX-5 Global Cup race car. Deliveries will begin in April.

 

“While our first year was spent concentrating on the successful launch of the MX-5 Cup car in our Battery Tender Global MX-5 Cup presented by BFGoodrich Tires, we knew that was just one arena for customers. Now with an available hardtop, Mazda racers can compete in SCCA and NASA Club Racing and in the Pirelli World Challenge TCA class,” said David Cook, business development manager, Mazda Motorsports.

 

Information on all of Mazda Motorsports, including complete details on the Global MX-5 program can be found online at www.mazdamotorsports.com.

$4,420 seems a bit overpriced?

Cool. Interested to hear what others think regarding pros and cons. i.e. if it wasn't mandated by your series, would you want it?

Mazda Motorsports today announced an adjustment in the price for the track-only, removable MX-5 Cup hardtop. The hardtop will retail for $3,085.00, reduced from the originally announced price of $4,420.00

 

“Thanks to hard work by our engineers and vendors, we are happy to announce a reduced price for the Global MX-5 Cup’s available hardtop, providing customers an even greater value for this program,” said David Cook, business development manager, Mazda Motorsports. “We want to see as many Mazdas on race tracks in as many series possible, so this will undoubtedly help. For customers who have already ordered their top at the original price, we will provide them back the difference.”

 

For Mazda, it is all about ensuring it does right by the customer.

 

Already, more Mazda vehicles are raced on any given weekend than any other make in the U.S., from Spec Miata series and autocross to the Global MX-5 Cup race cars and KODO Design-inspired RT24-P DPi prototypes campaigned in endurance racing. Mazda’s goal is to be a trusted and chosen motorsports partner for all levels of motorsports, from amateurs to elite professional drivers.

 

Orders for the new motorsports hardtop started last month and are being accepted exclusively through Mazda Motorsports. Deliveries will begin this week.
