Mazda->ke53 is going full force at the 2012 Tokyo Auto Salon->ke1834, presenting a grand total of 10 vehicles at their home auto show. We're not surprised that one of the vehicles they're bringing to Tokyo is yet another special edition model of their iconic MX-5 Miata->ke1185 line.

Called the MX-5 NR-A 'Jinbai-Ittai' - translate, Jinbai-Ittai means "horse and rider becoming one" - this special race-spec Miata is a lightweight, two-seater, open-top sports car that has been finished with unique exterior graphics to go with a grocery list of new equipment, including TAKAT four-point seat belts, new Bilstein dampers, Endless brake pads, and a new set of 16" alloy wheels from ENKEI that have been wrapped in Bridgestone tires.

Mazda has been tight-lipped on all the other modifications and enhancements given to the MX-5 NR-A 'Jimba Ittai'. Nevertheless, you can expect more details about this special edition, race-spec Miata to be released leading up to the 2012 Tokyo Auto Salon before the event opens its doors this coming January.
