DRIVE INTO SPRING WITH LIMITED-EDITION MAZDA SPORTS CARS

 

Spring is here, and what better time to visit Rivervale Mazda in Brighton to check out two new, very special Mazda cars engineered for pure driving excitement – the special edition Mazda MX-5 Niseko and the Mazda RX-8 40th Anniversary Limited Edition.  These sporty models celebrate Mazda’s continuing status as ‘Britain’s favourite sports car brand’ and are just right for putting a spring in your motoring step, as well as offering thrilling performance and breathtaking handling.

 

“The Mazda MX-5 and RX-8 are two of the most exciting sports cars in the UK,” says Malcolm Hance, dealer principal for Rivervale Mazda. “Drivers looking for exhilarating sports performance combined with individuality and reliability are welcome to come along and take a test drive.”

 

Rivervale is offering the MX-5 Niseko from £17,995 on-the-road with up to £2,000-worth of additional extras over and above the equivalent standard models, making this latest edition of the world’s best-selling roadster extremely good value.

 

Both the 1.8i Niseko soft-top (126ps with a five-speed gearbox) and the £19,995 Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe 2.0i Niseko (160ps with a five-speed gearbox) are available in a bespoke new colour, Icy Blue Metallic, as well as Sunlight Silver Metallic – for no additional charge.

 

The Mazda RX-8 40th Anniversary Limited Edition celebrates the launch of the first Mazda rotary-engined car, the Cosmo Sport, back in 1967.  Unique features include a choice of two exclusive exterior colours – Metropolitan Grey Mica, giving a strong touch of sophistication, and a truly distinctive Crystal White Pearlescent, making sure this is a ‘stand-out’ car on Britain’s roads.

 

The drivetrain features the twin-rotor High Power 231ps RENESIS rotary engine mated to a short-shifting six-speed manual transmission.  The Mazda RX-8 40th Anniversary Limited Edition accelerates to 62mph in just 6.4 seconds and is capable of a top speed of 146mph.
