Zaku-8

I was just watching Speed for the Champ Car race and saw a Mazda ad, where a guy is walking out of a warehouse of Mazda cars. When he walks out, the different cars headlights light up like projectors, and "show" clips of Mazda racecars on the walls of the shop. I'm guessing many of you have seen this ad.

There are two things that got me curious... in the hallway there is a large concept drawing of an orange car... has this car been seen before?

Also, about 2 seconds after that shot, there is a quick shot of a car with a spoiler, but the entire car is under a white cover. It seems blatant in retrospect to tease about a car in a Mazda production ad... has anyone else noticed this? What car is it?

it's the kabura. Doubt it's on youtube. You can just go to mazda.com and look at pics of it there.

I have it recorded and haven't seen it yet. But it's on Direct TV/Tivo, so I can't move it to my computer. I can see if I can get still screen shots of the 2 cars.

Do you mean this ad? I don't see some of the items you mention, but it's the same theme.

The car half uncovered seemed to have bigger oil cooler openings that the RX8.
The car fully covered looked to be a 2 door coupe. Possibly the same car as the artwork on the wall?

That is almost the same comercial. That one is only 15 seconds. This one, I think was a minute long. It had a lot more content.

I uploaded a low res video to YouTube.

It looks to have the dimensions of a mazdaspeed RX-8 bumper. But the car itself looks like a hatch, but I could be wrong, coz the back of the car is covered

you could be right. It could be that red mazdaspeed rx8 they brought here. But i can see where you're coming from about the hatch thing but a hatch 8? come on.... that would be just wierd. haha.

I bet mazda is laughing at our faces saying "we got these guys good!"... haha

I wouldn't mind having a little place like that though.. one day when i get my collection up. haha

Maybe they will be revealed at Sevenstock.

You can see a reflection off of the right seat. You can make out the silver rotor shape from the RX-8 seats on it.

The quick shot of the rotor housing is also of a 13B and not a Renesis as it has a peripheral exhaust port.

Maybe the partly covered car is a Mazdaspeed RX8. A RX8 with Mazdaspeed bodypanels. Maybe the MS front & rear strut bar. ECU flash for more HP (eg. Racing Beat). It should be about time.

Tirminyl

^^Thats what I think. Just a Mazdaspeed kitted 8.

it definetly looks like a hint to me. i think its a swerve as well. hint at something under the cover but then make you reconsider with the showing of the rx-8 front. but i think when its fully covered it isnt an 8. definetly a purposeful hint of "something you havent seen yet" either way. hopefully 7stock or LA auto show
