The idea of developing a one-make BT-50 racing series was first introduced last May during the first leg of the Mazda Fan Festa PH. After an overwhelmingly positive response from the BT-50 Community, Mazda Philippines developed the concept further. The result is the BT-50 4x4 MT BT Racing Concept which may preview what the one-make BT-50 race truck would look like.

Exploring the full potential of the BT-50, the BT-50 4x4 MT BT Racing Concept is developed in collaboration with top-tier aftermarket brands under the project guidance of Mazda brand consultant Jaykee Evangelista.

The BT-50 BT Racing Concept comes with prototype CUSCO suspension and performance components, six pieces of 17-inch Concept One Outback wheels, GT Radial Savero M/T Pro 265/70R17 tires, a Mammoth Aluminum roof rack, Rhino Armor Crossbars, custom bed mounted wheel chair, Raid mudflaps, and PIAA LTX 590 and V-RF 40-inch LED Bar. It’s wrapped in a bespoke livery by Vinyl Frog.

At the Manila Auto Salon 2025, the BT-50 4x4 MT BT Racing Concept is joined by the MX-5 Miata Cup 23rd Anniversary Edition. Based on the new MX-5 2.0L MT Black Top Black Leather variant, the MX-5 Miata Cup 23rd Anniversary Edition is dressed in a bespoke racing livery inspired by classic motorsports liveries.

For its appearance at the Manila Auto Salon, it is enhanced with the full set of AutoExe performance parts. AutoExe is a tuning company and parts maker that specializes in Mazda vehicles. With decades of experience as a Mazda tuner, AutoExe focuses on enhancing directness and agility. The result is an MX-5 that responds seamlessly to the driver’s intent without any compromise to comfort.

The MX-5 comes with AutoExe parts, including the Front Under Spoiler, Carbon Seat Bar Bezel, Wheel Nut Set, Kijima-Spec Street Sports Suspension, Front & Rear Sports Stabilizer, Tower Brace Set, Rear Floor Cross Bar, Dual Center Sports Muffler, Quick Shifter, and Sport Bucket Seats.
