Car of the Week

The Mazda Furai

This 2008 Supercar was supposed to be rippin' up the roads and shootin' down Mazda's competition three years ago... what happened?

Before I go into that, I want to list some stats:

Top speed of around 180mph
0 - 60 in THREE little seconds
Weighed only 1,488 pounds (675kg)

When the car was first being tested, it was put to the limits it would have been put to in a race, but it couldn't handle the stress and heat(?) and caught on fire. Thankfully, the driver was not injured or killed, and the fire team could get to the car before its two gas tanks exploded...

(here is a link to the full article)

This car would have been an amazing car and I really hope that Mazda have gone back to the drawing board and fixed whatever errors there may have been.

Thank you for tuning in and please like and comment your suggestions or opinions.
