The Mazda MX-5 was built from 2004 to 2019.
The NB MX-5 Miata Mazdaspeed, the most traded version: The Mazdaspeed Miata represents Mazda's only factory-turbocharged MX-5, making it instantly significant among collectors. Limited to just 5,428 examples over two model years, it addressed the perennial complaint about Miata power with a turbocharged 1.8-liter producing 178 hp. The package included unique bodywork, upgraded suspension, six-speed transmission, and distinctive Racing Orange paint on most examples. While the turbo added welcome power, it also brought complexity that some purists questioned. The limited production run and unique status as the only forced-induction Miata from the factory have made it highly collectible. Values have climbed steadily as collectors recognize its rarity and significance in Miata history. Clean, unmodified examples are increasingly scarce, as many were modified or tracked heavily. The Mazdaspeed represents a fascinating what-if moment in Miata evolution and stands as the most collectible second-generation variant.
