This 1950s Corvette Is Actually A Brand-New Mazda Miata Underneath

  • Mitsuoka has transformed the Mazda Miata into a Corvette C1-inspired roadster.
  • The retro bodywork does a great job of hiding the car's origins.
  • Full reveal set for November 26.

The Miata is officially going full American. No, Mazda hasn't suddenly decided to build a Corvette rival, although how cool would that be? Instead, Mitsuoka has done what Mitsuoka does best: taken a perfectly good Japanese car and given it an identity crisis. Although details are still under wraps, these fresh official images confirm our hunch of a hybrid between an MX-5 and a C1.
