Measuring 164.6 inches in length, 82.8 inches in width, and 45.2 inches in height, the Iconic SP is 10.5 inches longer than the MX-5 Miata and 4.1 inches shorter than the 1995 RX-7. With a weight of approximately 1,450 kilograms (3,197 pounds), it’s slightly heavier than the RX-7 but considerably lighter than the Toyota Supra or Nissan Z, which carry the burden of additional pounds due to their electric components.
The Iconic SP carries its larger dimensions with grace. Its compact powertrain allows for a low hood and sleek proportions, while the distinctive Coke-bottle fenders provide a modern twist to the iconic RX-7-style windows and rear hatch. Mazda’s contemporary grille design graces the front, and the taillights, resembling a Venn diagram, pay homage to the Miata and RX-7’s aesthetics. The upward-swinging doors add a touch of elegance to the design, akin to Aston Martin’s swan wing doors. The Iconic SP flaunts a vibrant Viola Red paint finish, a departure from Mazda’s signature Soul Red Crystal, befitting its status as a sports car.
