Furai Concept.

Having seen this on the front of Top Gear mag, i thought id shamelessly steal it, and see if anyone else thinks this (as i do) is quite possibly one of the sexiest looking things ever designed.

Sounds even better than it looks.

It's...urmmm...different...I'll give it that.

I like the flowing details up to what i assume is the headlights. But tbh, not a fan.

The front 'slab' where the badge sits seems strange considering the rest of the car seems completely optimised for aerodynamic performance.

 

[thecremeegg]

I love it, think its possibly the best designed car i've seen for years

 

[Hunders]

Me likey. It reminds me of a more flowing Koeniggsegg CC*

Mazda had a mental rotary engine at Lemans a few years back, doesn't this thing run something similar?

Loving the organic lines, nice diversion from the CAD generated aggressive look that a lot of German cars have adopted

 

[DreXeL]

I absolutely love it. It's the ultimate in mad organic Japanese styling. Thje styling just flows beautifully, it looks like it's moving when it stands still. Stunning IMO.

Yep, it's running an extremly fruity triple-rotor by all accounts.

Im gonna go against what everyone else thinks, im not really sure on the looks.

kumho tyres for the lose

runs on ethanol apparently - doesnt look that quick in the videos

 

[Dup]

Conceptually its very fresh yet overdone at the same time. But, at least they made it and use it!

It's like a really sexy Radical.

I think thats perspective, because in the forst vid at around 1:00 it flys past, then what looks like a porcshe goes past but not as quick.

 

[GeForce]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice.

 

[Fr0dders]

love the way that if you look closely you can see all sorts of styling references to the old mazda 787b. Its obviously a very different car, but you can tell they had it in their minds when it was designed

 

[Phate]

I'm undecided.

Think I like it

 

[jaykay]

If this went into le Mans Wow.

 

[Vanilla]

amazing

 

[Scottland]

If those YT videos are the ones I've seen, it sounds absolutely amazing!

kumho tyres for the lose

Have you ever used them? I've actually found the Ecsta KU51 a surprisingly good tyre

 

[NathanE]

I love it. Looks awesome. Glimpse of the future - I hope!

Except the cheapo Kumho tyres haha!
