HIROSHIMA —
Mazda Motor Corp on Monday released the Mazda Roadster BLACK TUNED, a special edition version of its iconic lightweight, two-seat, open-top sports car for the Japanese market.

Interior quality is also enhanced, with the seats and steering wheel covered in black leather with sand-colored stitching.
Three external body colors are available, including two exclusive colors – Spirited Green Metallic and Velocity Red Mica – and the popular Crystal White Pearl Mica.
The Mazda Roadster RS RHT has a 2.0-liter DOHC engine and six-speed manual transmission, and Mazda Roadster VS RHT has a 2.0-liter DOHC engine and six-speed electronically-controlled automatic transmission.

Doesn't 'tuned' mean the engine has been upgraded?

Solid car if you aren't interested in having children or doing anything else but cruising in the radiation spots with the top down.

Kurisupisu, you are, of course, correct. Why no mention of power increase or what is different apart from the paint job?

From what I've been reading, they "tuned" the price. This so called tuning relates only to the expensive cosmetic upgrades.
