Rotary-powered Nagare finale on a Le Mans chassis
The Furai, meaning sound of the wind, was the fifth and final car in Mazda's Nagare concept line, debuting at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show. It used a race-derived chassis based on a Courage Le Mans prototype and a heavily modified 20B three-rotor Wankel engine running on E100 ethanol, producing about 450 bhp in a car weighing roughly 880 kg. The one-off was destroyed by fire during testing later in 2008.
