NAIAS - The sound of Mazda

Mazda has once again blown our minds with their stunning Furai, which means, sound of the wind.

Mazda's Furai concept had been crafted and developed as a concept to bridge the gap between the single-purpose racecars and street-legal performance models(supercars). The raciest interpretation of NAGARE design language to-date, Furai is the latest car in Mazda’s award-winning and highly acclaimed series of concept cars. Nagare (pronounced ‘na-ga-reh’), is Japanese for ‘flow’ and the ‘embodiment of motion’.


The concept is powered by a 450-horsepower RENESIS-based R20B three-rotor rotary engine tuned to operate on 100% ethanol which allows energy companies such as BP to research into alternative fuel for the future.

However, Mazda neither intends to race Furai, nor is it a supercar the company plans to build and sell in the near future. Rather, Furai is a design study that lives between those extremes. Without the restrictions imposed by serial production models, and with the freedom of an autoshow environment, Mazda is using the opportunity to evolve the company’s Nagare design theme one more step closer to reality.
