Ferrari-Like Flavor For Mazda MX-5 Retractable Hardtop

Taking a leaf out of Ferrari and Porsche’s book, Mazda’s MX-5 Miata RF takes the targa route to open top fun.

With a complex and sophisticated folding hardtop, the Miata RF is due to go on sale in late summer. “It’s the same car now dressed in a more comfortable suit,” says Masa Moro, Mazda’s new North American CEO. “Mazda continues to punch well above its weight in the US and globally.”

Though the extra weight of the hardtop may blunt performance slightly, it will likely be a quieter ride with the top up than in the convertible version. Sound insulation has been added to the roof panels and the rear wheel housings.

The RF model has the same powertrain as the convertible, the 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 155-hp.
