click above for new live shots of the Mazda Furai

We were looking forward to seeing the Mazda Furai, but nothing could take away from the experience of actually seeing it in person. The car simply just doesn't have a bad angle. What's really incredible is that it's not just a show car. Under that sleek body is a Mazda 20B rotary engine pushing 450 horsepower and a Courage C65 race car chassis. While you may not be personally at the show, we've done our best to bring you the high resolution photos. You can check out the new live pictures in the Furai Concept gallery (http://www.autoblog.com/photos/mazda-furai-concept/), along with the 60 press shots that were added earlier today.

***********************************
Word on the street is that it will be powered by a 450-horse 3-rotor engine and will be equipped with a "Road Head" button, which when you press it immediately forces her face into your lap.
Okay, so I made up the road head button, but I REALLY want one of those in my car.

"road head" option????? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

not a big fan of the front end. however...... i dig the rest.

[Mi Beardo es Loco]

lol at the ricer wing. uhhhhhhhh......well, maybe not. I WANT ONE!

[Phlip]

That road head button might be a deal breaker, if they don't equip it with that, I may have to go spend my four traveler's cheques at a competing resort.

[exitspeed]

Someone posted a vid of this on here flying around a race track. This thing sounds orgasmic.

[eastcoastS14]

pricetag? kthanxbye

[Phlip]

pricetag? kthanxbye
Concept, no pricetag yet...
I am betting it will cost an arm and a testicle.

Did I mention that it is supposed to run on E100 Ethanol?

[Mi Beardo es Loco]

I KNEW IT!!!!!

[jackjack]

now that i think about it........... that would be a kick ass batmobile. hell yes.

[Mi Beardo es Loco]

now that i think about it........... that would be a kick ass batmobile. hell yes.

yes, yes it would! But isn't the batmobile that tank thing he built?

[WagDatto]

I can't WAIT to see that thing smashed into a wall! I think it looks rad, but you know that every one of those body panels costs a pretty penny, and is pretty much irreplaceable! It would make me happy and sad at the same time... Like Death Cab For Cutie or Bright Eyes...

[Antihero983]

ugh that car is sooooo fucking hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dirty Habit]

Not a big fan of the beak.

mmm and this is the reason Im in college lol....hopefully these 16+ years of school will earn me something like that in my driveway one day

[jackjack]

yes, yes it would! But isn't the batmobile that tank thing he built?


it gets:rl: in The Dark Knight. i'm assuming by the joker, but we'll have to wait and see. either way, Lamborghini supplied the new batmobile :D (at least.... thats what sources say).

[jrmiller84]

That's the first car that's ever terrified me.

[OptionZero]

how awesome will it be to see it on the track against other racing cars in some Le Mans type setting

It'll be ridiculous

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

[k0uki]

man im in love

[lucky7]

i saw that at the auto show. thought it looked like a pile of crap. :keke:
infact, i still do. that thing is ugly as shit.

[deolio]

ugly, but still looks good like a boxer(the dog). if girls made that noise, i wouldn't last more than a minute:wackit:

[powersteeringless180sx]

the front end reminds me of a sharks head. it's kinda cool kinda ugly at the same time.

... I need to go Jerk off

[VROOOM]

saw that car at the LB Grand Prix, its amazing in person.

[flip3d]

It looks like it can takeoff. You might need a runway for it.

[ayuaddict]

i have no idea what that high pitched whining is on deceleration...

but i am in love with the sound.

[Antihero983]

hey i built a concept car, and its pretty damned cool....LETS RACE IT!

i <3 mazda now.

[SHIFT_*grind*]

That thing sounds like a swarm of really, really, really angry bees.

Which is awesome.

[WanganRunner]

^^
+1


The Reventon is an ugly overpriced abomination, the Furai is the design of the decade.

It'll never, ever, ever be a production car, but we can at least hope that they will race it officially and extensively.

Mazda r0x.

[an_orange_s2k]

the front is kinda ehhh but its growing on me

[ESmorz]

^^


It'll never, ever, ever be a production car

Mazda r0x.

I seriously hope to all that is holy it is or something extremely similar.

You're gonna tell me that if you had enough money you wouldn't buy it haha.

But seriously, what is that sound on deceleration that sounds like it's opening a portal into an eargasm?

[s14_legend]

i like the stealth like look

[Antihero983]

I GOT IT!!!!

they need to make ANOTHER RX7, and then make a "Furai" edition (kinda like the old R1 version) so they can make a race version car of it!

homoglation FTW!!!!

[~Rev Free~]

i have no idea what that high pitched whining is on deceleration...

Its transmission whine, it is a race car after all.

[SHIFT_*grind*]

That's a LOT of whine, though...
