Mazda MX-5
The Mazda MX-5
“JInba Ittai” and “Lots of Fun”
Jinba Ittai—or “Rider and horse as one” in Western terms—is the essence of the MX-5. Jinba Ittai drove all of the development team’s decisions, yielding a car so nimble and fun to drive that the driver and car achieve true unity. This unified rider and horse concept allowed us to create a new MX-5 that’s true to the spirit of the original, exceptionally lightweight, and lots of fun to drive.
