FC3S Concept Art

There was a post on Jalopnik today asking about concept art of your car, and I had never even thought about the FC being a concept. I always just sort of assumed it existed, and that's how it was So I did a quick Google search and didn't find anything, so I thought I would come here and see if anyone had any concept drawings or prototypes of the FC. I wouldn't mind seeing FB or FD stuff, but I'll save that for another day.

Well, while this is not exactly what the thread had requested, you can see the process of how the FD really took shape from a weird torpedo shaped car.

Maybe somewhere in the world there are lost drawings and photos of the concept of what the FC evolved from, but a search for 1980s concept cars hints of at least the general shape of the cars.

Now that I really look at it, the 1981 Bertone Mazda MX 81 Aria Concept resembles the FC a bit. Thankfully it doesn't look so weird. Kind of resembles the Mazda RX500 concept that came out in 1970.

Huh. I've never thought of that either, but it is something I'd like to see now that I think about it.
