You thought you had seen the last of the 2008 Mazda Furai concept didn't you? We certainly had enough coverage on the lusty concept that didn't make Popular Mechanics' Top 10 New Cars of Detroit list. What with the teaser photos, track video, live reveal shots, and super sneaky close ups - but no, we're not done yet. How about video of the ethanol powered Nagare-gasm running on the floor of the Detroit Auto Show? Would you like that? Yeah, we thought you would.

need new pants now
This thing makes a DBR9 look like sorority girl's car.
@yellofury: Make that two.
Powered by Stihl?
I need a cigarette now.
YES! I figured this would be up shortly after the tip :)
I love this thing long tim.
@WarShrike: edit:long time...
How did they manage to keep all the dragons out of the building?
The idle sounds lower then the track video.
I want to hear it rev a couple times.
@combat chuck: They had chinese handcuffs installed in each exhaust pipe in the cars outside.
@combat chuck: They didn't issue them credentials.
Thanks for this guys; I was in another part of Cobo when they fired this up and missed it.
If my wife didn't get called into work, I would have missed this.
I love you honey!
Who needs coffee and morning sex when you have that?
I have my 3-piece Altec Lansing speakers at 3/4 volume and I'm about to wet my pants.
@Turboner:
Ummm, can I have all three? Not from you, of course.
Bubrub would say to install some Whistle tips.
I would still like to keep the coffee and morning sex as part of my routine... though this would make the commute much more enjoyable... and considerably quicker.
Dear Mazda-
Please remove the "RX-8" badge from the blue car sharing the stand with the Furai, then apply it to the back of the Furai. That way, we'll have a car we want with a name we can pronounce.
Thanks,
FreeMan
Couldn't they have blipped the throttle, at least once? Sure, its probably against the 'rules,' but its not like they drove the car through somebody else's press conference or anything.
BTW, if you have never experienced an unmuffled rotary at full tilt boogie, it's PAINFULLY LOUD!
Ear splitting isn't just a euphemism, it really hurts. In a good way.
simply superb vehicle !
i love you furai
Dragons I tell you Dragons Indeed!

RX-9. Make it.
@biminitwst:
Oh yes. I remember the first gen RX7s in SCCA before they mandated the mufflers. You knew EXACTLY where they were on the track and who was missing shifts.
@biminitwst: He did tap it, just once. At the 25 seconds left mark.
(Clarkson voice) When I come to power I'll have several of these made for me. If you come up with a good idea, like May's bring the animals to the city idea, you get to drive one.
Holy zipper chafing work boners Batman!
Whats under the hood?....20B with some boost?...
Well the guys at BYD drove you around inside Cobo in their car. The least Mazda could do is to offer a spin...
@MeDuh:
Thanks for the link.
The thing sounds awesome. Mazda just became even cooler. Fuck yeah!
@mutedthud: yet another boner-related COTD
@supermotothud:
That's only in the moe-nin. You should be up cookin' breakfast or somethin'. That could be like your alarm clock. wooo WOOOO!
Hopefully that ain't Lil Sis driving the Furai! That beotch can't drive!
It sounds evil.
I was hoping for a round of applause from all of Cobo when after they shut that beast down. It is truly one of the most unique engine notes I've ever heard. Can any one who has been fortunate to see it run in person vouch for it sounding better than it does on video?
...which would be like finding out a boothbabe is also a PhD candidate.
Can't believe everyone at the show didn't run to the booth and drop to their knees and offer up thanks to the internal combustion Gods.
Sinister symphony is the best description I can think of.
Like many posters above, I need a rest now.
@russell_s:
I believe it's a non turbo 20B. Still good for around 450 hp though.
@biminitwst:
They totally should have driven it through someone else's press coneference. Like, that Porsche non-conference. Ideally with a girl in the passenger's seat flashing some skin. That'd probably be enough to give the poor Germans a heart attack :)
@MeDuh:
Was that a Porsche camera car?
Also, that thing looks like it could drive away even when they've got all four wheels off it.
@Hunter555:
Race-spec 20B/Renesis derived 3 rotor, no boost, running on (as everyone has already said) ethanol.
So Mazda has a hydrogen rotary, an ethanol rotary, a regular rotary, a diesel (i think), a miller cycle engine, direct injection, fuel injection...
Is there any car manufacturer out there with a wider variety of engines? I mean, i'm not counting stuff like Rolls Royce where they make non-car engines. I mean car engines.
@smart42: They cut off the video just before the virgin was offered up and her still beating heart placed on the Furai's hood.
If you listen closely, you can hear the creak of the everyone within ear shot's pants pitching tents.
@instrumentofaction: Yeah, I'm surprised there weren't stampedes heading toward it and others in fear fleeing for their lives.
Now there's a fantasy--the Furai (@Freeman--don't need the name, just point and grunt) skidding through the joint as pastey sweaty car shills shake their tiny fists as the monster vaporizes their cheap displays.
Brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, UHHHAGH! Uhhh yep sexiest thing I have seen in a while.
@Froggmann: As soon as I clean all the spit and toast off my monitor I'm going to read that again! Truly LOL!
This is my personal night rider the engine is so loud I won't hear a peep out of Micheal...
Did anyone else's dragon masturbate faster when the throttle changed?
@skaz: Make that three.
I hope there were no small children present as they would've exploded when he blipped it.
yup, the chase car was a 997, with no hope of keeping up seemingly.
