Mazda MX-5, known for being one of the last classic cars still in production, may be joining the electric revolution. According to a report, Mazda is considering the idea of electrifying the iconic roadster.

Matsue acknowledged the shifting market demand towards electrification, especially in the United States, Europe, and Japan. He stated, “That’s a possibility. The MX-5’s main markets are the United States, Europe, and Japan. Japan is a bit behind, but the market demand is changing towards electrification. So we need to think about that.”
