Auto-Tuning

Feast your eyes on this Lambo-powered Mazda MX-5

The Mazda MX-5 Miata is generally appreciated for its modest dimensions and sharp handling, but someone felt like it could do with an enormous 5.2-liter Lamborghini V10 under the hood.

A cursory glance at the hood may leave you thinking the car has pop-up headlights, but look closer and you will see that they are actually snail turbos. A jutting Lambo intercooler and air intake can also be seen.

The tuner behind this build, Hot_Parts_USA, doesn’t disclose any power figures, but we’d expect the Miata to slam the wheels with several times its original output of 116 PS (114 hp / 87 kW). The catch is, the build isn’t quite ready yet, and even when it is done it may end up too front-heavy for actual driving.

We are looking forward to seeing this bizarre creation at the SEMA show later this week.
