Mazda sets another new precedent in automotive design!

It is actually suppose to be the successor to the famed Le Mans winning 787B!

Very unique. They didn't copy off of any other design...VERY cool.

Default 2009 Mazda Furai Concept on Video: Auditory Bliss

Video

The three rotor banshee planted in the 2009 Mazda Furai Concept is at full scream in this track time video at Leguna Seca. We're eagerly awaiting the unveil at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday, but it's a slim chance we'll see it blasting around like this on the frozen roads of Detroit. If you listen closely when the driver steps off the throttle, you can hear yourself wet your pants.
