Mazda Furai

The Furai has to be one of the best looking Japanese concept cars ever produced. when it was unveiled at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show it left onlookers gawping at the simply stunning lines which gave the car a look somewhere between a full on group C racer and a piece of automotive sculpture, and in effect, that’s what it is – moving art.

The car was designed on the Chassis of an American Le Mans Series (ALMS) race car chassis and features a twin rotary engine that outputs 450 bhp, and even better than that, it’s fully working and drivable as Mazda showed by taking it for several hot laps of the track, and subsequently even offered automotive journalists test drives in it.

Furai translated means “sound of the wind” and the car is the ultimate expression of Mazda’s Nagare (Japanese for “flow”) design language.
