New Mazda RX-8 2008 Edition

The new Mazda RX-8 2008 is definitely a fast cool car. Sporting a fresh design, improved handing, acceleration, quality and features, it continues to be a “Sports Car like no other,” and shows that the rotary engine is still an important part of Mazda’s future. Since its launch in 2003, the Mazda RX-8 has been hailed as a genuine sports car, but with a totally new, four-door, four-seat format that delivers sports car values, passenger comfort and driving pleasure. It is powered by the world’s only mass-produced rotary engine.

Mazda Furai –‘Sound of the wind’

Mazda will redefine the typical concept car design brief when it unveils the radical Furai environmental racer at the 2008 North American International Auto Show in January.
The Furai concept is the fifth concept in Mazda’s award-winning Nagare ‘Flow’ series. It is more than just a design study – it is the physical embodiment of Mazda’s Zoom-Zoom DNA in its purest form. The Furai is a concept car that was born and bred for the racetrack.
The car uses the Courage C65 chassis and the 450-hp three-rotor rotary engine that distinguishes it from anything else on the track.
