Take A Sneaky Look Under The Skin Of The Mazda MX-5 RF's Fancy Folding Roof
We've all seen those cool videos of the new hard top Miata's clever roof in operation, but this animated version shows us what's happening behind the scenes
As a ‘retractable fastback’, the Mazda MX-5 RF is very much lie a mini version of the Porsche 911 Targa. The clever roof you see here can open and close in around 12 seconds at speeds of up to 6mph, and - impressively - doesn’t rob the RF of any boot space compared to the standard car.
Mazda revealed earlier this month that the MX-5 RF will start at £22,195 in the UK. Would you have one over the soft-top?
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

The soft top mazda Triggered
Yes i probably would have this over the soft top because
1) operating the roof on the soft top is a bit of a faff
2) you get the best of both worlds (of normal coupe and a convertible
3) more practical (bigger boot)
4) looks cool
5) where i live (Dubai) it’s really hot and I’d like a metal roof to protect me from all that heat.
Everybody gets crazy about the MX5-RF and I’m still waiting for a Coupe.
The brz can’t stop staring.
At least the soft roof won’t rust in the future though…
Soft top because weight savings bro
yes. very much lie. indeed…
Roof goes up, roof goes down
