roadster in September. The reveal of the upcoming fourth-generation model will be made to an exclusive audience at two special events being held in Barcelona.

The initial unveiling will take place on 3-4 September in Barcelona, with simultaneous similar events taking place in Japan and the U.S. Mazda's guests around the world will be the first to take a look at the all-new MX-5.

Then on 6 September, MX-5 enthusiasts from across Europe will meet in Barcelona to view the coming generation of the iconic sports car. Under the “Long live the Roadster” banner, both occasions will commemorate the 25th anniversary of the MX-5.

Since 1989 almost 945,000 MX-5s have been produced, making it the Guinness World Record holder of the bestselling two-seater sports car of all time.

“The MX-5 is the product that best epitomises Mazda’s convention-defying spirit and our love of driving,” says Mazda Motor Europe President and CEO Jeff Guyton. “It has been grabbing people’s attention for 25 years, and with the new-generation model we’re aiming to share this passion with yet another generation of drivers.”
