The Mazda Miata was developed in 1981. At that time, Mazda had a new partnership between the Mazda team in Tokyo and the Mazda team in North America. This collaboration is called the Offline 55 Project .
Based on the Offline 55 Project collaboration , Mazda was inspired to revive the glory of the British roadster that will be produced by Japanese manufacturers and sold in America. Mazda appointed Tom Matano as the designer for this project , and took inspiration from the British roadster , the Lotus Elan.
Mazda took the philosophy of one of Jinba Ittai’s martial arts which means a combination of horse and rider when developing this British roadster from Japan. With this philosophy, Mazda concluded that this latest car project must have small dimensions, be comfortable to drive, and distribute the weight evenly on the front and rear of the car.
As a result, Mazda succeeded in introducing the Mazda MX-5 at the Chicago Auto Show in 1989 which made potential customers love it. This has resulted in every existing Mazda dealer getting booming orders from consumers.
