The new MX-5... designed by Auto Express!
Mazda has challenged Auto Express to design its very own edition of the iconic Mazda MX-5. In this week’s edition of the magazine, the team head-off to Mazda’s design studios in Frankfurt, Germany, to craft a sports car which will ‘stand out from the crowd’.
“We want a model which will both reflect Auto Express’s brand and have a more masculine and aggressive appearance than the standard MX-5,” explains journalist Jack Carfrae
Following a day of brainstorming, the team come up with the ‘striking’ MX-5 Red Express, which has ’bright, bold colours and a gentlemanly club racer feel’. The car boasts a ‘bold’ red exterior with a ‘luscious’ satin finish and a white gloss windscreen surround to emulate the Auto Express lettering. The roadster is then finished off with a set of optional five-spoke 17-inch alloys. The interior is black leather with ‘subtle’ red stitching and the Auto Express logo embossed on the seats and mat. An Auto Express plaque is also mounted on the dashboard.
The one-off design will go on display at Mazda’s Zoom Zoom Challenge at the British International Motor Show at London’s ExCel from 23 July to 3 August.
