Exomotive Exocet

The Exomotive Exocet is a tube-frame kit car that uses the complete powertrain and suspension from a 1990-2005 Mazda Miata. It strips the donor car down to its bare essentials, resulting in an ultralight vehicle that often weighs less than 1,600 pounds. This creates an extreme power-to-weight ratio, even with a stock Miata engine, and offers a raw, unfiltered driving experience.

Enthusiasts value the Exocet for its incredible performance-per-dollar and the reliability of its Mazda components. Since each car is built from a kit, no two are exactly alike. Build quality, donor car condition, and the extent of modifications like turbochargers or upgraded suspension define each car's character and value. The market is small but dedicated, rewarding well-documented and professionally assembled examples.

With an average sale price around $19,000, these aren't just budget projects. The wide price range reflects the vast differences between builds. Lower-priced cars are often basic builds with stock 1.6L engines, while top-tier examples feature built motors, extensive turbo systems from companies like Flyin' Miata, and high-end chassis components, making them formidable track weapons.

Prices for completed Exocets range from $9,300 for basic builds to $31,499 for professionally built, high-performance variants.
