The MonoCraft MH1.



TOKYO — The Tokyo Auto Salon, Japan's version of the U.S. SEMA show, is notable for the fruits of smaller, more esoteric companies like this one, MonoCraft, which is showing an extreme makeover of the Mazda MX-5 Miata (http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/ViewModelDetail/make=Mazda/model=MX-5%20Miata).

Yes, it really is the latest-spec Mazda MX (MX-5 Miata), although visually, you might never guess. The MH1 is the latest Miata variant from Tokyo's MonoCraft, which previously did a neat coupe, and it's the real deal with unique hood, fenders, bumpers, grilles, lights, and rear spoiler.

The smart O-Z Racing wheels are options. The action starts at $24,404.

What this means to you: The Miata looks good in this body, but it would be hard to hurt such a classic.
