The European auto market has the Spring Edition. The American auto market has the Special Edition. Continuing on that trend, Mazda->ke53 has announced that it will be releasing a new special run model of their highly-popular MX-5 Miata->ke1185 sports car for the German market.

The model is called the MX-5 Senshu Special Edition, which made its debut at the 2012 Auto Mobil International Show in Leipzig, Germany.

The "Senshu" name is Japanese for "player," and this particular Miata is all that and more. It's available in three different exterior colors - Red, White, and Black - and is based on the MX-5's Sports Line spec model.

On the outside, the Senshu Special Edition comes equipped with a unique black surround design on the front front grille, racing stripes that run along the car's profile, a matte black rear diffuser, xenon headlights, a lowered Bilstein sports suspension, and a new set of 17" dark alloy wheels wrapped in 205/45 R17 tires.

Inside, the special edition MX-5 gets treated to leather seats dressed in a two-tone black and gray scheme. It also has red stitching on the door panels, red surrounds on the air vents, an aluminum trim decoration, sports aluminum pedals, and a Bose audio system.

No performance enhancements were made to the car so expect it to carry the same 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 158 horsepower and is mated to a six-speed manual transmission.

Only 200 of these babies will hit the German market with each being priced at €29,190, a number that converts to $36,297 based on current exchange rates.
