now that's a nice looking set of cars on stage

 

from that angle the furai is reminicent of the zonda (just a little)

 

Hmmm... i don't see it ... the Furai looks better IMO.

 

The front and rear end of that Furai is a statement which says... "Don't f$@* with me..."! Very nice indeed....

 

More Furai hotness...

Just post the links.

 

man! the 8 looks kickass in flat black....

 

No, Jordan it looks badass!

 

 

This is the definition of why I love rotaries.

On the top of the picture we have a 1.3, on the bottom we have a 5.7

 

Of course while a picture may be worth a thousand words, it is usually only half the story.

 

its a 2.0. haha

yeah the 8 does look sick in flat black...i am not liking the number font on the 69 car though.

 

Yeah, in reality, the Vette is lapping the RX-8 for the fourth time


Oh, thats a 3 rotor in the RX-8? I don't understand why they do that

 

LOL, I wasn't going to say it but yeah... that's what I was thinking... Yeah All of the Mazda RX-8s competing in the ROLEX GT Series are fitted with a 3 rotor Mazda R20B engine... I'm not sure if they are running ST cars this year... but if so, those should have 2 rotor Renesis motors.

 

Just scope out the Speed Source website.

 

R20B is the Renesis based 20B, correct? Custom built from 3 Renesis rotor housings? I need to frequent the 8 forums more often, I spend 99% of my time on the 7 forums.

 

the way I understand it is it's more of a backwards engineered 20b Cosmo engine. Basically they started with the old 20B design and engineered many aspects specifically in the area of rotor design into the engine.

 

The Furai made MSN auto's top 10 list for concepts at the Detroit show...

http://autoshow.autos.msn.com/autosh...mentid=6015212

a soundbite taken from the article--

"In terms of sheer show presence, Mazda’s Furai race car concept wins hands down. We can say, hand on heart, that this was the most radical-looking car in Detroit. When the covers were removed, Mazda Design Director Franz von Holzhausen fired it up and gave the throttle a few blips. The crisp crackle from the ethanol-powered 450-horsepower rotary engine was exhilarating and totally in keeping with Furai’s bold, sweeping lines and its name, which means “sound of the wind.” . . . "

 

Oh man, I can just imagine what that would have sounded like indoors.

 

flat black is the best color!

even its 2.0l but im sure the 5.7 is ported too

 

Yes, Im pretty sure the R20B is the Renesis 3 rotor, but I thought it was only in the Furai.

 

now you can hear it yourself

Nope, thte R20B has been around since 2003. It was first used to power the C65 Courage chassis. Later it was adapted to power the SpeedSource GT cars. It's not exactly a "Renesis" 20B as much as it is a 20B that has been given some of the benefits of the Renesis designs.

What's special about the Furai version is that Racing Beat and Motec worked to tune the motor to run on E100 specifically.

 

man, that wans't too impressive at all

they should replicate the 787B warmup!!!
