Mazda and Fiat sign agreement for Alfa Romeo production

As part of the joint venture between Japanese carmaker Mazda Motor Corporation and Italian auto major Fiat Group Automobiles, Mazda will undertake production of the new Alfa Romeo open-top two-seater sports car at its manufacturing facility at Hiroshima, Japan. The production of the new sports car will commence in the year 2015.

The new roadster by the Alfa Romeo brand is being developed on the architecture of the Mazda MX-5. Also, as part of the agreement, both carmakers will develop two new roadsters which will feature rear wheel drive and will be differentiated and distinctly styled. These new car models will be equipped with specific proprietary engines.

Fiat plans to implement the latest technological solutions to create a modern interpretation of the classic roadster Alfa Romeo. The Italian carmaker also expects to achieve its stated goals for the Alfa Romeo by the year 2016.

Mazda’s aim through the agreement with Fiat is to improve development and production efficiency as well as create enthusiasm for open-top two-seater sports cars in the global car market.
