The Healy Enigma stands out as an unusual Miata-based sports car that pairs Mazda running gear with a far larger engine than most people would expect. According to the details available, the car uses a 4.0-liter Lexus V8 that is said to produce up to 300 bhp.
What makes the package especially notable is that this is not simply a modified Mazda MX-5. The Healy Enigma reportedly features a bespoke chassis while still relying on Mazda Miata components for its running gear. That combination points to a custom-built approach aimed at blending familiar lightweight sports car hardware with a much stronger power output.
With up to 300 bhp on tap, the Healy Enigma would offer a very different character from a standard Miata. The bigger Lexus V8 suggests a more muscular driving experience, while the Miata-based underpinnings indicate that agility and compact proportions remain central to the concept.
In short, the Healy Enigma appears to be a niche performance build designed around a simple but appealing formula: lightweight Mazda foundations, a custom chassis, and V8 power. For enthusiasts interested in rare Miata-based specials, it is a striking example of how far the MX-5 platform can be reimagined.
