Description[]
- "This tuned Mazda MX-5 was based on the first-generation model. Nearly every aspect of the car was improved, from its engine to its upgraded suspension system. It was also lightened and made more durable. The changes to its chassis resulted in a more neutral handling balance, which makes it a blast to drive on the race track."
- ―In-game description of the car, from GT7's Brand Central
The car shares the same description as the base Mazda Eunos Roadster (NA Special Package) '89, stating at the top that it has been tuned by Gran Turismo.

Trivia[]
- Despite being a race car in the PS3-era games, it is treated as a road car in Sport, likely due to being a track day car that cannot reach Gr.4-level performances.
- A similar situation also occurred with the Toyota S-FR Racing Concept '16. In GT7, both cars were tagged as "Professionally Tuned", hence the reason both are treated as N-class cars in GT Sport.
- The addition of this car in GT Sport as an N-class car could be thought as a replacement for a scrapped N200 Mazda Roadster S '15 variant that was shown in early screenshots and at the Copper Box launch event.
- In Gran Turismo Sport and Gran Turismo 7, some color variations resemble the racing modification color schemes of various NA Roadsters in the PlayStation era games.
- In Gran Turismo Sport and Gran Turismo 7, the car uses RAYS 57XX wheels by default.
- However, the car's default wheel lacks tessellation.
- In GT7, unlike the Honda CIVIC TYPE R (EK) Touring Car, despite its base model being a 1989 vehicle, it is available for purchase in Brand Central instead of being only being available on the Used Car Dealership exclusively. This is because it never had a defined model year; this means that it is ineligible for model year-restricted events, such as the Neo-Classic Competition.
