The Mazda Furai is the concept car, revealed on 27 Dec 2007. The word Furai(風籟) meaning of sound of the wind. The concept of Mazda this time is different with other concept car, the Furai is already ready for the stock. The car have been used to try on many tracks before.
For Furai, it is using Courage C65 LMP2 platform. Furai can consider as a super sportcar cause of the platform type too. The platform can afford more than what its engine perform, even more than 1000 hoursepowers. The Furai is using R20B renesis 3 rotar engine by Mazda. It perform 458 hoursepower. But this is the original performance only. From my experience, a FD3S RX-7 modified to R20B 3 rotor engine, beside the engine also fit with a big turbo system. The result came out with 700hp+. About the gearbox of Furai, it is 6 speed semi-auto.
Actually mazda rotary engine is very nice. Because of it is using rotary technology, if compare with the piston engine, with same performance, but the rotary engine is just very low on the Liter capacity of engine. For example, R13B of RX7 or RX8, it is just 1.3liter but it perform well up to 200HP+. It is still the original parts. For the car users who like to drive fast sometime, want to own a sport car, but worry about the roadtax payment in Malaysia, Mazda's rotary will be your best choice! Performance, outlook, sport, lower roadtax, 4-doors that suitable for family users too, it is all the best. But you are not going to buy a Furai! I mean of RX-8. lols.
