Let there be Detroit:the Mazda Furai concept

The first car that I want to talk about from Detroit is the Mazda Furai Concept.Meaning „the sound of the wind,, and carrying a slogan that says:The soul of a sports car,this four wheel wonder stuns people at its every appearence.Through this concept the Japanese manufacturer celebrates 40 years of motorsport hystory and also 40 years since the rotory engine first powered a Mazda.Under the hood we find a 450 HP ethanol burning engine developed by BP,while the chassis came out of the Courage C65 model,the same one that ran at the American LeMans Series in 2005 and 2006.mazda furai

The design is inspired by the Nagare design language,that will be the base of the next Mazda models.Similar design lines had been seen in the past at several models: Mazda Nagare concept, Mazda Ryuga, Mazda Hakaze and Mazda Taiki(the Tokyo Auto Show star).

Unfortunately the Furai will never mass produced.
