[RUFFIAN]

those mirrors are cameras. I like hoe they incorporated the mazda "arguile" racing designs on the top.

[Glides]

Looks like the Mazda Taiki concept.

From autoblog,
"Courage C65 chassis that was campaigned by Mazda in the 2005 ALMS season. It features a fully-running three-rotor Mazda 20B rotary engine that runs on E100 ethanol and produces around 450 horsepower."

[JITB]

looks fast!

[Dracc]

even with out the badge.. it still has the body lines of a mazda

[kfzemx3]

yea you can deffinetly see the wings in the front

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

It's actually called the Mazda Furai.

Either way, it looks like a beast.

[SampaGuy]

im guessing its gonna run in gt1?

[EJ25RUN]

reading this over made me wonder something....
right now, for 2008 and beyond, japan is having some really hot cars making returns or refreshes. Here's what i mean....

Nissan
1. R35 GT-R (duh)
2. Skyline/G36/V37 (Same thing)
3. Silvia (return for 2010)
4. 350z (Redesign)

Toyota
1. LFA car laps ring in 7'24 (god damn)
2. Corolla rwd return
3. IS-F (nuff said)

Subaru
1. New sti
2. New forester (possible sti)

Mitsubishi
1. EVO X
2. lancer non evo with 4wd

HONDA
1. NSX return
2. all this civic/accord fwd nonsense (i know some of you like it)

Then you have mazda *hmmm* well lets see what they put on the table.

1. they are getting rid of the mazdaspeed 6 (even though pics of a possible future model like stunning.
2. the rx8 (ugly) is getting a face lift soon (still ugly)
3. i will keep saying this. THE MAZDASPEED 3 NEEDS TO BE 4WD BECAUSE IT SHOULD COMPETE WITH THE WRX AND EVO.....Period fuk all the non believers.

End of small rant. *tired*

[EJ25RUN]

omg i didn't even realize that car looks like a platform for an LM-P car.
Thought of it as more of a design study. I mean damn, sits on a courage c65 frame with a 3 rotor....you know where that came

There is no way in hell Mazda can sell or by pass regulations to run it as a GT1 though.

[kfzemx3]

well the the MS2 demio is rumored to be awd platform(which is going to be sick, light weight turbo powered setup), though from pics it looks to be an auto, which leads me to believe there going to use the ms6's drivetrain setup. mazda doesn't have a newer manual awd drivetrain infact the only ones i personally know of is the 323 gtx/gtr and the capella awd wagon from the mid 90s

as for the rx8 its nice and all but not my liking, but mazda isnt going to invest in a car that didnt do that well in sells in the 1st place, and is going to be replaced by the comeback of the rx7

Yeah I misread what u quoted from autoblog.... definitely wouldnt be in LMP either though

[87 Turbo II]

I like it. People say it's ugly, I sure don't think so.

[evokenny]

[Magnus213]

I think it's absolutely amazing. I love cars and I see tons of them, but something about this one just stops me. It's unbelievable.

[SiRed94]

i like how the driver's seat is in the middle and the passenger in the first pic is all scrunched up beside him hahaha

im pretty sure it would be classified under GT1 regulations, any LMP car that is Closed Cockpit is classified as a GT1 usually

Even wears #55, like the 787B. Sounds pretty similar, too.
