Seriously, a very mild refresh and this thing would be good to go. With at least two of those snail thingies. I heard they make cars go faster.

This.

I want a new FD

That car put Mazda on the map for me. Yes it didn't become anything great but I've never seen anything like it. It's not just a radical concept, it's just radical.

To this day the greatest supercars never produced were the Mazda Furai and the Jaguar cx-75 twin micro-turbine-hybrid concept.

Do a search for Formula Mazda, it's a small open-wheeled race car with a 13B, probably the closest thing to a Furai you can buy in real life.

Mazda RX-7s were McPherson struts until the FD. The Miata was a clean sheet car and in 1989, they introduced it to us for sale. All production Miatas came with double wishbone suspension.

oh it sounded like you were talking about the miata going from struts to double wishbones.
