Mazda reveals MX-5 RF with removable hard topMarch 23, 2016 - 18:24 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Mazda has taken the wraps off its new model, the MX-5 RF, the Verge says. In a Chelsea loft, Mazda execs rolled out the car, which looks exactly like a Mazda Miata with a hardtop, but with a complicated targa roof retraction mechanism. A targa is a car with a removable roof section over the driver and passenger, but more roof or a roll bar behind the seats rather than a fully retractable roof like the standard MX-5 has. Theoretically a targa delivers more rigidity than a full convertible, as well as a substantial increase in style, and reduced complexity in the retraction mechanism, the Verge says. The Mazda MX-5 RF is almost like a coupe with a back that opens up to swallow the targa roof panel. When the roof is up, it has the added benefit of protecting the occupants against the weather and road noise, the Verge says. Pre-orders will be available late in the summer, with deliveries coming after that. Pricing has not yet been announced.
