1999 Mazda Miata Mono-Posto

MX-5 makes driving fun, a single seat MX-5 with a racing look makes driving even more fun. This concept was not the dream of one Mazda designer only.

1999 MAZDA MIATA MONO POSTO: Mazda’s Miata Mono Posto (translation: “one seat”), was the first concept based on the second-generation Miata, introduced in 1998 as a 1999 model. The Miata Mono Posto sports custom bodywork includes half doors, air intake in the hood, one-piece valence front and rear fascias, cowl-mounted rearview mirror, a minimalist windshield and aluminum rollbar. Engine modifications include an HKS turbocharger and intercooler, special manifolds, stainless steel exhaust, which result in a 36 percent increase in horsepower to 190. The paint finish is a custom Red Pearl Mica, and Racing Hart three-piece, five-spoke, 18-inch wheels finish the exterior. Inside the purposeful cockpit, is a Formula One-style Mono steering wheel, Sparco lightweight, one-piece racing seat and custom gauges.
