Well, it would be a good move, I'd think, to produce a 3 rotor engine, though not NEEDED in that car. *HINT 8 HINT*.

But, I would like to see what they do with this idea for the car.

have you seen the ride height of the Furai? No way that sucker is going to traverse our road systems without getting stuck on something. And if you jack it up high, it's going to look silly.

CyberPitz

Yeah, it's true, the thing would crash on Speed Bumps. I figured they would redesign the front a bit, give it a different suspension to raise it up a little bit....

I like to reach for the stars sometimes.

heh. Did you see the seating position in the vehicle? A LOT would have to change for it to be feasible to bring to the market.

As a working concept, it kicks ***. It doesn't need to be practical or anything, but as a prototype for a road going vehicle, it isn't up to par...

aww the days of speculation. i sure do miss those days.

Right, it would be horrible if even part of that vehicle was put into a road car. It's a great concept for looks, I must say. If there was a car that even resembled that, I'd be happy. I just hope they take it and do something with it for the public market.

Personally Furai is a good car for a race series, as for production, it would be the dumbest idea mazda ever came up with. Furai type of car is to exotic for production company. now if mazda made a car that has a producation look, then that would be really good. but as for furai being a producation car, i just do not see it.

NNow if mazda was a company like zonda, ferrari, lambo etc, who only makes limited amount of cars, then yes i can see furai being a car for the roads.
