Sometimes what you wish for can come true, nearly a year ago I posted this in my thread about "New Furai Pics"...

Well they are now available from a well know Auction site and I guess other model/hobby stores.

Mazda Furai made by "Spark" out of Resin Scaled at 1:43...

I would add this to the topic also....

As a collector of Mazda Die Casts I wonder if those at Auto Art would reproduce the Furai in a Die Cast scale of 1:18..

I would be the first to order one!

Would anyone else do the same...?

We should start up a request/petition/
Charlie, how about emailing Jeremy Barnes at MNAO as Auto Art would need Mazda's Corporate approval to make any model first of, then getting Auto Art to make it would be the next hurdle.
Again Jeremy Barnes could twist their arm...so to speak.

I think Auto Arts minimum production run is 3000 units..
I think they would sell like hot cakes....

What do you guys think?

Imagine if they could make it with actual LED's....SICK!!

Don't think it has the Flashing LED's though..

1:43 so small though...

So sweet! I want one in 1:18 scale too. I wouldn't mind one in 1:1 scale as well.

1:1 scale :D LOL wouldn't we all love that! I still prefer the Kabura over this though, probably just 'cause the Kabura is way more likely to actually come into production.

Yeah, I'd buy an auto art one at 1:24 or 1:18,. but 1:43 is too small

ASH8

I don't even know if Auto Art will be making one or at what scale, yes I would prefer a 1:18, one time 1:43 was the "collectors" preferred size, partly because of the minute detail needed.

Then came the larger scale sizes...

So, I would not hold ones breath for a larger scale..it may not even happen.

For those interested I know there is a New Mazda 3 one around (Blue) as Mazda Australia were giving some away in a recent competition (finished), they are usually Auto Art made which means they will be available for public sale within the year or so...looks scale 1:43.

OMG! I want one! That is a beautiful piece.... 1/43 is fine.1/18 would be better but just the fact that there is a model of this absolutely stunning car is bliss!

How much was the model?

If they make a larger scale, I'll buy one of those as well.

^^^ Its 1:43 its more about the collectabilty than the quality in detail...
Its only about 2" long

I hope it comes out as an RC car. That would be sweet to go with my 555 WRC Impreza.

1:43 isn't a bad scale. I've got a few and you still get some decent detail in them. I might have to pick one of these up.

Speaking of 1:18 scale, have you guys seen the Cosmo Sport model from AutoArt? Wow!

There was a special RC competition at this years SS11 which those who participated received a special Furai body...
