Krystal finds another Concept Car, this time its Mazda's latest Car, the Furai.

The Furai ( 風籟 ) meaning Sound of the wind in Japanese is the fifth and last of the Mazda Nagare line of concept cars that have been made by Mazda since 2006. The chassis is based on the Courage Compétition C65 Le Mans Prototype that Mazda last used to compete in the American Le Mans Series, two seasons previously and is designed to use E100 ethanol fuel, it is powered by a new generation 3-rotor wankel engine that puts out 450 brake horsepower (340 kW). The engine is developed and built by renowned rotary tuner, Racing Beat, who also built the car's rotary-shaped muffler canister.

The car also bears the #55 number that of its 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans winning ancestor, the 787B. (Not Pictured)

However, unlike most concept cars, the Furai is fully functional and is currently being tested at various tracks.

Here is a video of it at the Laguna Seca Raceway.
