The M2 1001, nicknamed the Clubman, was the first production model of M2, the Tokyo-based Mazda subsidiary that tuned and developed special cars until it was shut down in 1995. It was a factory-modified Eunos Roadster, the Japanese version of the Miata, announced in late 1991 and limited to 300 units. It carried a tuned B6-ZE engine rated at 130 PS with a five-speed manual gearbox, a lightweight flywheel, a mechanical limited-slip differential with a cooler, an HKS exhaust, a four-point roll cage, uprated suspension and a stiffened chassis. Exclusive Dark Blue paint, aluminium mirrors and fuel cap, racing bucket seats, a MOMO-sourced racing steering wheel and a nose with two large driving lights gave it the look of a vintage club racer. Demand was so strong that a lottery decided who could buy one.
