Not bad looking actually!

hmm..... that shape looks incredibly familiar? Could it be your old roommates design? not 100%, but at least 85% ! (at least in side profile)

you are right, it does look good :) .... and unlike the NSX replacement, the GTR, and the LFA... it looks proper exotic, and super car :)

I love it.

Funny thing is, that's exactly what I thought when I looked at that side profile shot!

I suppose just a coincidence... too bad.

The more I read about this car, the more I like it.... 3 rotor engine with "only" 450 hp may not be much, but the car is based on modern race tech since it is built on the Courage C65 Chassis that was run in ALMS in 2005! I'm sure the car will put down better power on 93 octane :P certainly better economy lol.

But will it be built and marketed like the RX8? If so, then Mazda better save up the squillions for the out of court lawsuite settkements ;)

if it was built more akin to the 787b's 4 rotor... then it would last at least 10,000 miles :P

It looks too much like the Mitsuoka Orochi for my tastes...not bad in general, but the front end needs some serious work...kind of looks like a hognosed snake or a turtle or something.

wow
what a design!!!

Mazda have been on the forefront of concept design for about 3-4 years IMHO; where others are bringing "closer to production" variants to the show... i can only hope this ends up being some kind of production car, but thats less then 5% IMHO...

WOW

mazda is really surprising me lately. they were able to make some really stunning designs and concepts. this is no exception. a pure piece of art, extremely exotic too! haven't seen something that exciting for a long time :drool:

Stunnig look! The fat and and the big ones (like JC) will hate the doors, but who cares?
I agree about the front end - it need some work, but the rest is amazing!!!
Hope they do something like that for production.

That looks very racey.
I like it allot
And i hope it go's better than it looks.

well the 20B is a tried and true motor They have huge potential. The problem with rotories isn't the engine itself it is usually the drivers and the emissions crap. The 13b is an amazing engine aswell but all the emissions crap held the car back and made the costs of maintenance astronomical. The basic idea behind the rotary is simple, the execution on newer versions is flawed. The fact that a bolt-on RX-8 can't pull away from my pathfinder until 100 is pathetic when it's main competitor walks away from me like I am standing still.

All said I think the idea behind this car is awesome but I highly doubt this thing will ever see production atleast with a 20b in the rear.

Like anyone would even pay an 80k+ Mazda anyway..

This will never make it to production.. too bad cause it looks great.

Ingres/egress issues perhaps... but dang it, I want to see this be a GT1 car at Le Mans! let alone, in ALMS

this car is probably not intended for road use, but as a design piece it is quite original looking; very nice design and well in line with mazda design philosophy

wow what a sound! but it does sound a bit strange when idling :?

Bridge ported rotary engine

Wow...I like this car alot...Would love to see Mazda return to the serious sportscar realm with an RX7 replacement...This car looks special...More options for us cardudes is where its at...Round 2 of the Japanese supercar invasion hopefully...The RX8 as nice as it is just wasnt enough to fill the gaping hole in Mazdas lineup with the demise of the RX7...That thing sounds sweet except at idle...

It's somewhere between disturbing and cool. The nose looks like it's from Aliens or something and sides are about the same, but it looks good.

Surely this one will have peripheral ports... as a racecar...

that car is seriously ugly. it seriously looks out of proportion from the front. But at least it looks like a bat out of hell and goes like one too.
