^^^^agree

anyone else notice that with all the crazy work that went into this the air filter is still in the engine bay?? i'm sure the layout and vented hood help but still...

a second look and it appears that the vents in the hood may be mostly restricted to exhausting air that has passed through the intercooler...

yeah the front looks REALLY good. the back, REALLY wild

fking ugly. IMHO

Engine bay looks pry sweet however.

Looking good!

.

kind of cool looking looks more like it is built for bonniville. it has the tesla headlight and hood.

They tried to make it like the Mazda Taiki concept

could it be their way of telling Mazda to build a 16X rotary coupe?

or it could be a joint venture, sometimes big car manufactuers seek out well known and well respected tuners to spin some ideas and come out with a concept that spurs some excitement much like what Toyota did with 5Axis for the Scion concepts...
And with most car co.s cutting back in cost it could be plausible....

What blows my mine, is that tuners still use the RX-7FD as there base in making some beautiful cars or wild creations such as this.

You can tell this car had some influence from the Taiki, and even this RX-9 concept.
