How the MX-5 Miata roadster took shape
Brian Long assembles a development history of the Mazda MX-5 Miata through accounts from the engineers and designers involved, translated from Japanese for this edition. The book traces the effort to create a new lightweight open sports car when the traditional roadster was widely seen as a fading format. It also records the internal resistance the project faced and the team’s commitment to a driver-focused concept likened to the connection between rider and horse. With attention to conception, design, and production, it centers the people and decisions behind the car’s arrival.

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.
