At first glance, a classic Mazda MX-5 NA.
On closer inspection, a car that challenges everything you think you know about performance, weight and driving pleasure.

This MX-5 NA was converted whilst still a new car by the legendary US firm Monster Miata to feature a Ford 5.0-litre V8 – not a retrofit, but a vehicle built from the ground up as a complete concept. Today, it ranks among the most sought-after ‘sleepers’ of all.

Monster Miata was founded in California in the early 1990s and quickly made a name for itself with a seemingly crazy but ingenious concept:
👉 V8 power in ultra-lightweight roadsters.

Whilst others merely talked about it, Monster Miata consistently put it into practice – technically sound, drivable and reliable. Their conversions were regarded as the benchmark: perfect weight distribution, robust engineering and suitability for everyday use despite their brutal power. This vehicle dates precisely from that era.

Optional 300 PS kit from Monster Miata

Large, reinforced rear axle

Manual gearbox

Perfectly tuned chassis to handle the extra power

A car with the weight of an MX-5 but the torque of an American muscle car. Brutal acceleration, direct handling, a completely unique driving experience.

The crucial – and rare – factor:
This Monster Miata is fully registered in Switzerland with all its modifications. No grey areas, no need for individual type approval, no unresolved issues. The car is being sold fresh from its MOT and is ready to drive straight away.

With 61,000 km on the clock, the car is in a very fine, well-maintained condition.
