46k-Mile 1992 Mazda MX-5 Miata Special Edition Five-Speed

Description

The 1992 Mazda MX-5 Miata Special Edition marked a significant moment in the evolution of the beloved roadster. Introduced exclusively for the U.S. market, this limited-production model celebrated the Miata’s growing popularity and Mazda’s commitment to delivering a premium driving experience. Each unit was finished in a striking Brilliant Black exterior—the first time black was offered on a Miata.

What truly set the 1992 Special Edition apart was its upscale interior. It featured tan leather upholstery, color-coordinated tonneau cover and boot, and a wooden Nardi shift knob and handbrake handle. Standard equipment included 14-inch BBS wheels, air conditioning, power windows, cruise control, and a premium AM/FM/cassette stereo with headrest speakers—features that were optional or unavailable on base models.

Mechanically, the Special Edition retained the Miata’s 1.6-liter DOHC inline-four engine, producing 116 horsepower, paired with a five-speed manual transmission. While performance remained unchanged, the Special Edition emphasized refinement and exclusivity.

This 1992 MX-5 Miata Special Edition retains its distinctive interior styling, Brilliant Black finish, and basketweave BBS alloy wheels, all unique to the edition. Aftermarket wooden trim has been added to the cabin, and the 1.6-liter inline-four now breathes through a Racing Beat exhaust.
