I dig this car-it was designed to look lik the flow of the wind. It is absolutely covered in trick little aero designs. They are working on the road version already too.

Actually yes. Mazda has been using many of those design techniques on their newer cars. And even more so on their concept cars such as the Kubura (sp?). I suppose this is just taking it to the extreme.

the mazda furai, 1.9 liter wankel rotary engine, 460 bhp, and it gets a whopping...2.6 miles to the gallon...but it can run on E100! yeah, that car should definetly be brought to the market...

they had it on top gear...and it was broken...so they couldn't do a review of it.

i'd rather get a gumpert apollo.

well, it is a rotary engine, not a regular piston engine. the reason it makes that much power is because it probably reves to like 15 thousand RPMS and/or has a turbo.
