Lancia-Themed Miata Steals the Show at SEMA

A custom-built Mazda MX-5 RF, registered as a 1978 Lancia Scorpion, was showcased at SEMA. Built by McHugh's Automotive Group, the car incorporates Lancia DNA and various parts from other vehicles. It features Lancia badges, a modified rear from the Lotus Elise, Porsche Macan lights, and design cues from Pontiac GTO and Corvette generations. The build took 3,100 hours and utilized parts from eight cars. The interior includes Lancia branding, an analog clock, and a custom steering wheel. While some Miata purists may find the Lancia theme excessive, the modified Mazda showcases impressive craftsmanship.
