from another angle you can see it's the valve cover.

I could still see a little red (valve cover) on the left side in the video. But I agree with you, the sound is a little different.

the engine sounds like a ported motor with a sylencer, pay attention when the car comes back and its left at idle, you can definatly hear the lump of a ported motor on it
What has mazda being up to?

Maybe they're testing prototype engines in the Kabura. My guess is that (if its a rotary) while everyone is trying to find the test-vehicle for the next gen 8, they put it in the safest car! Its 'official' that the Kabura will be powered by a 2.0L inline 4, so no one would suspect it. Even crazy rotor-heads like us thinks the Kabura is piston-powered by now.

I think the car in the vid looks squished because It was a 16:9 shot vid, squished to a 4:3 ratio. Even the porshes looked squished. that is not what it looks like in real life. If you can imagine the vid being stretch a bit horizontally it would not look nearly as balloon like.

You get a peek at the engine bay in this vid too. The layout looks similar to the video above and not the still picks with offcenter intake manifolds...
With a date of June 06 on this video it makes me wonder how many times mazda has toyed with what kind of powerplant this thing will actualy have....

I don't know, when it slowed to pull into the parking lot it seemed to have some rotary pop.
The Kabura might look good with a little cleanup, and a rotary option. They can sell other engines as long as the rotary is an option. I think it is do-able.
