This is a computer rendering picked of a facebook page GripMiata. Not sure who created it but is sure is pretty.
No direct side shot but my rough guess puts that tire at 335/40/18, roughly 5" taller than a 225/45/15. Despite being much taller, the front tire is further from door leading edge.. I think the artist has added some length, maybe 10" between front axle and firewall. Explains the beautiful proportions despite the tractor tires. Anyway, enjoy.
Orginal creator is jj72_jg on Instagram. I contacted him to see about getting high quality copies of this, and he agreed to make some 1440 and 4K versions for background usage. I'll copy them here if he comes though.
I love the render. Makes me wish Mazda had done something like this mid 90's and taken it to LeMans... Obviously minus the 1.6, but a certain 4 rotor would have fit nicely had it not been banned...
*waits for legitimate discussion of aerodynamics of rendered reality*
It it should go without saying that there are several features on the body work that make no sense aerodynamically but it still looks really cool.
Because of the increase in frontal area, drag coefficient, and those huge draggy tires such a car would need a minimum of 600 horsepower to be faster than a regular Miata on 245's and 350 horsepower.
Can't get over how good that looks! Thanks for the post. Every since our big Texas brand Hennessey Venom GT was released I've been dying to see another small car get a stretch for performance. Granted they stretched the rear and not the front; but yall get it.
If anyone was interested there is a guy making the miata pictured that Emilio shared. His Instagram is Scrappinmiata. Unfortunately I believe this car is going to be a show car and never see the track. Still cool to see all the custom metal work that is going into it.
Looks good. Then again, it would look cooler if all the surfaces had an aerodynamic purpose/were actually designed instead of just drawing stuff. Even better if it was an actual track build, not a stanceboi showcar.
