I like all the little rotor details, like the exhaust and the interior details. Looking at the car is like combining Where's Waldo with sex.

yeah man, very cool, from the rotor holes making the grill/vents to the side view mirrors, and all the other details. And depending on what angle you look at it, there are rotor shapes in the body lines of the car itself.

Funny thing, is in 2003 I thought my 7 should have rotor shaped exaust tip, so I fabbed them out of Stainless. ( I had intentions of making rotor side view mirrors too, but never got to it)
Looks like mazda is catching on with the rotor theme....

Right now I can only find this old pic that used to be my avatar, but I will find the larger pic.

Bob Saget!! It wouldn't load for me, but I saw this car before . This is what a sports car should look like and what engine should be in it too. Needs turbo though.

this car will be awesome if it comes very similar to this. i doubt it will though. mazda makes me cry...

the car looks even more stealth than the lambo reventon. if priced at $70k, they've got a winner.

It's a technology test bed. They are using it for R&D.

My favorite part too. It was like 10-12 seconds behind.

They probably couldn't even see the Furai in the camera shot. hahaha
