Old concept images
Don't know if this has been shared before but I stumbled across some of the concept drawings and images of the early prototypes. Thought it was kinda interesting to see the evolution of the car. Anyhow here's the link:

cool! I remember reading about this thing years ago. One of the original and cool ideas was to have different levels of power available depending on the key used. You could give your 18 yr old the key which limits HP to 180 or something, it was such a cool thought, but i guess it was never implimented.

This is a great find. I love the look of the concept cars. Clay cars are funny. Hmmm ... time to head to Mazda headquarters to get the special 150HP key.

i think its amazing how closely they stuck to the original idea!
you see lots of concept cars that never get built or in concept form they look like a ferrari and 10 years later it somehow evolved into the buick rendevous. lol
