The Exocet

The Exocet is a really simple concept. Take the Miata engine and drivetrain along with the suspension and drop a light, stiff space frame chassis on top. You get to keep the great handling of the donor Miata, but with a weight savings of around 800 lbs. It's just as much fun as you think.

The Exocet was originally designed in the UK, where around 450 of them are roaming the streets and race tracks. Exomotive in the US reworked the chassis design for more strength and considerably greater stiffness, and has started producing the new design in Atlanta, Georgia. Flyin' Miata is proud to be a dealer for this new redesigned kit. We are no longer able to provide rollers or turn-key builds, unfortunately.

There is a Base kit that's $700 less than the Sport, but we think the Sport is the best starting point for a street and/or track day car. It has a stiffer chassis and improved rollover protection. So we don't recommend the Base and thus we don't offer it.

Video!

The car in this video is a Sport kit fitted with the optional rear wing mounts and missing all the bodywork. It was built from a 1999 donor and sports an FM II turbo system as well as AFCO suspension. We had to use a 480 hp Miata as a camera car, nothing else could keep up!

Here's a time-lapse video of the same car being built.
