The Mazda Furai Concept unveiled at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show recently was basically a rebodied 2005 Courage C65 racecar chassis, given a closed-cockpit fiberglass body that complies with 2008 American Le Mans Series rules.
The new body can generate 80% of the original race-spec body’s downforce, a respectable feat considering it was designed without the use of a wind tunnel. The Mazda Furai Concept is powered by a three-rotor Mazda 20B rotary fueled by E100, which is basically ethanol. Normally aspirated, it puts out 450 horsepower.
A few more photos after the jump.

Very organic design. From side view it looks like a future F1 McLaren. It looks even better than hypercar zonda and koenigsegg

=============
Its a race car, which means that its not road legal. If Mazda launch this baby, it surely will not be the same as this one (more tamer, street-friendly and practical).

_________________________________________________________________________
its an FR layout, the front is short bcos its using rotary engine, which is a lot smaller compare to piston engine
btw, 787 using 4 rotor rotary engine, the body profile may have some similarities, but not the power plant. and 787 is a MR layout
This car looks so exotic! This is an unbelievably beautiful design. It makes cars like Porsche and Konigsegg look boring.
Reminds me somewhat of a Pagani Zonda, only way way way more badass :) This is how cars of the future should look like. Infiniti and Lexus, hmmph.
looks like new batmobile lol
Does anyone know the price on this Ferrari/Lambo killer?
