First released in 1989, the original NA-series Mazda MX-5 was replaced by the NB in 1998, the NC in 2005 and the current ND in 2015, when the first Retractable Fastback (RF) version of the famous roadster was added. Soon after, the MX-5 notched up more than one million cumulative sales, reinforcing its status as the world's favourite two-seat convertible sports car. All four generations of MX-5 have remained true to the original NA formula: compact, lightweight and rear-drive.
