Mazda Mx-5 Miata Roadster

Design & Development
This is the fascinating inside story of the design and build of what would become the world's favourite lightweight sports car. Candid text, written by the engineers and designers themselves, guides the reader through every stage of the vehicle's development, from original concept through to the production model that took the world by storm.
The extraordinary account of how the world’s most popular sports car – the Mazda MX-5 Miata Roadster – came into being. The story of how a team of dedicated engineers and designers boldly conceived the idea of a totally new lightweight sports car at a time when the traditional open roadster seemed doomed to extinction. Despite considerable opposition the group tenaciously defended its concept of a car which would offer the driver the same unity as that found between a horse and its rider. Despite the odds, the team succeeded brilliantly. Here is the fascinating, and very often surprising, inside story of the MX-5 Miata’s conception, design and production, as told by the individual members of the team, translated from the Japanese, and compiled for this edition by renowned motoring author Brian Long.
