Description[]
The Mazda Furai was a concept car designed by Laurens van der Acker in collaboration with Swift Engineering. The car was powered by a 2.0L RENESIS R20B three-rotor engine producing 450 BHP; unlike many other concept cars, the Furai was fully-functional and was spotted driving around in various tests on camera. Its name literally meant "sound of the wind", and it was the last of the five cars in Mazda's Nagare series, following the eponymous Nagare, Ryuga, Hakaze and Taiki.
During a photoshoot at RAF Bentwaters in 2008, the Furai was cresting a hill for a photoshoot when the engine bay caught fire; the driver escaped but the car was ultimately gutted by the fire and destroyed.
