Only 50 will be available staring at $38,500 for the GS and $42,200 for the GT.

Mazda Canada will invite a select group of loyal Mazda customers to secure their order by sending them a unique PIN code via email.

This special code will give them access to the pre-order website and allow them to build and order their own MX-5 RF to their unique specificat­ions, one week before the pre-order site opens up to the general public.

When the MX-5 RF arrives in showrooms, it will be available The MX-5 RF GS brings essentiall­y the same feature set as its soft-top stablemate, with the notable difference being the new power-retractabl­e hard top which can be lowered for maximum driving pleasure in approximat­ely 12 seconds, making it one of the fastest power-retractabl­e hard tops on the market.

The optional Sport Package ($4,400) turns up the aggression with the addition of seventeen-inch forged BBS wheels, Brembo front brakes, and red painted calipers. Inside the car, heated Recaro sport seats (leather and Alcantara® trimmed) ensure the driver and passenger will stay firmly planted in their seats during spirited driving.

The MX-5 RF GT builds on the GS with leather seats, BOSE premium audio system with nine speakers (including headrest speakers).

Paired with a black contrastin­g roof, this package sets apart the MX-5 RF, as this option is unique to the hard top version.

And if that's not enough, at the top of the ladder is the most aggressive yet refined combinatio­n available.

Take the best parts of the GS Sport Package – the dark BBS wheels and the track-ready Brembo brakes – and mix in equal parts luxury with the sumptuous Nappa leather seats and piano black hard top, and you've got the ultimate version of the MX-5 that will be just as ready for a day at the track as it is to be taken out for a night on the town.

The 2017 MX-5 RF will be available in dealership­s starting in early 2017.
