Mazda Furai Spy Shots - the Future of Cars is Here!

Normally, I leave my musings on cars to my Autos blog  (http://passionforcars-vikram-singh.blogspot.com/).  But this time the blog is about the future of car design, so it belongs on this blog too.

The Mazda Furai concept car is among the top reasons Mazda is going to become a force to be reckoned with in car design - it is mind-blowingly awesome! 

The Furai is the fifth 'Nagare' car, and the final one.  Furai means "sounds of the wind", and thats where the entire car's concept comes from.  Lets just say this - in design, in looks, in sound, this car captures that!  Check out the photos below, followed by the videos - yes, its a real, running car, and only has relatively minor changes needed to turn it from concept to reality!  Amazing.

And yes, it has gull-wing doors.  Sweet!

It has a 450 bhp rotary engine - I'm not sure if that will be kept in the final version of the car.  But listen to the sound in that video, just listen to that engine!  That is what driving is all about.
