Nice angle and nice shot of this furai thingy, i get the feeling that the car is going to look a bit freaky though... still, gotta push boundaries with concepts no?

Love the use of the Charge Renown paintjob.

how are the comments down the bottom about people not knowing what a triple rotor / 20B is? are they 10 years old? lol
I'm guessing they do not know about the Le Mans 787B fitted with a 26B then huh?

as long as those headlights don't make it to the manufactured model, i'll be happy.

its a beautiful car...i think that it would perfectly suit the race track at a le mans or similar

im also thinking that if they were to bring out another batman movie this would be his car haha

I wonder if this is going to be in the list of cars for the new Gran Tourismo 5 release??

Ooooh, can't wait for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue to come out soon. In that release i think there's 2 versions of the rx7 spirit r and an rx8, i think that's the only mazda. But in the full version (gt4) i've seen some weird cars so i reckon it's a possibility.
