I love how organic this thing looks. It looks it came out of a cocoon or something, not out of moulds and presses. Amazing.

Is this a case of form following function, or did some designer just really, really, really get it right?

looks like the Japanese are consciously trying to push auto design up a quantum leap. Wouldn't you with the Koreans, Chinese, and Indians nipping at their heels?

And where are the Americans? Oh, stuck in the '80's someplace. Pathetic. "But we can have a new Hummer in few years..."

Why couldn't this have been the replacement for the RX8? That machine looks so stodgy next to the Furai.

RX9 anyone?

@BN.:

If we can put the Excelero in then we can damn sure put this in!

That said, i'm not entirely sure it deserves it... Concept cars are neat, and concept cars that can pull 2Gs are even neater... but...

Now if this actually goes beyond the concept stage...? Yeah, don't call me Mazda. I'll call you. Six thousand five hundred and ninety four times a day.

Sorry for the flood, but it's like one of those girls that just makes you forget everything else, you can spend so much time on her every curve, the corner of her mouth, her wrist, the profile of her fingernails; you just feel that conerning yourself with her shortcomings is some sort of depraved sacrilege.

Considering the response to this car on every website everywhere ever, I think Mazda would be smart to put this into production in some form, be it race or road.

Hmmm. This is a car that fills you with self-doubt. I don't deserve this car, I know I can't drive it properly and it is really a case of the tail wagging the dog. And this dog might just kill me. It sits there, impassive, waiting. An alien beauty. Hey, I know how to steer and shift gears. So I can do this, right? Right? Impassive alien beauty says nothing. I might be cautious or awkward at first, but I could get it around the track. A little practice. Alien beauty says nothing.

i even have a parking pass at the local airport down the block to park that massive wing...

and is it just me, or would those headlights make you burst into tears as they approach, then scream by you at 100+ on the highway? anyone? anyone?

Car looks stunning. I'm so sick of every supercar using the same wedge shaped design.

Always thought the rotary would be perfect in a light-weight supercar due to its packaging and lightweight. Since this car gets 450hp from ethanol (lower energy content then gasolin) I would love to see a production engine that can produce around that with gasoline. If they can make similar power in a car less then a 1,000kg you have a world-beater (the Courage which the chassis is based on weights around 780kg). Regardless, lovely car.

I don't think it's a good idea to admit this on the interwebs, but I just can't help myself. I am so Humbert Humbert for this nymphet.

Is it actually against the law to make sweet passionate love to a vehicle? I mean I see a slew of videos on youporn that clearly indicate it isn't.
