Mazda Furai concept car running on the track!!!

[Timpo]

Powered by 20B 3 rotor
Generates around 450hp

It's not a production model, but looks pretty nice! I like the idea of mid engine layout.

obviously no where near what the street model would look like... but that's a WICKED looking car...

For a Japanese car company Mazda's daring attitude to be original in design is more European-like than the conservative Japanese culture.

Ever sense I saw the pre-release photos I knew it was going to be cool. I'd drive it :biggrin:

 

[The Kid]

I love it, would be interested in seeing a street car version for around $70k-ish. :biggrin:

that thing looks absolutely evil

 

[DRIFTER]

That thing looks insane!!! That is awesome looking. Hope they can make a reliable rotary car. I think the engine concept is great the three rotary mounted mid ship would be a killer setup especially with a high RPM capability. Sweet! It dose however look very expensive and will most likely be out of My financial reach for quite some time.:frown:

It looks so organic.

It's scary that it looks like a living thing...

 

[Sarge]

It looks like a Pagani Zonda, or its evil twin (Kitt VS Karr)

 

[Taj]

It looks like a new Batmobile.

Rotary engines are pretty reliable sans forced induction with the poopy pump gas. I know from first hand experience from my NA FC that I managed to get 185k miles before it wouldn't turn anymore.

I know you are a “RX anything fan” but saying the rotary engine is reliable is BS. YOU, me and everyone else know this and it is nothing new. And has been discussed before. I also recall you going threw quite a few motors before getting it right. And Mazda’s R&D did a good job testing the long-term reliability of their RX7-TT. But I know you tell yourself something over and over eventually you start to believe it.

Not for nothing every stock car I have owned had no problem running on that “poopy pump gas” maybe Mazda should have looked into that.They do have a R&D department don’t they?

 

[BATMANs]

Did you read what you quoted me?

I'm talking about a NA RX7 engine.

I speak from experience. U?

 

[Da Hapa]

I guess I'm the only one that thinks it's ugly.

 

[Juice]

I thought that this car would look ugly on the track. Guess I was wrong. I think it looks amazingly beautiful. Absolutely stunning.

Da Hopa,

I agree with you. That thing is FUGLY!
It looks kinda like a cocoon for some type of weird ugly alien moth!
