Mazda Furai Concept - (Italian)



This concept recovers the chassis of the Courage C65 with which Mazda covered the series ALMS only two seasons ago, and the rotary engine of three rotors and 450 CV that distinguishes it from any other present vehicle on the tracks.



The Furai recaptures the language of design of the Nagare (a Japanese word that means " fluency ") and furthermore, it incorporates a concept based on the models of competition from the American Le Mans Series (ALMS).



Mazda Furai is staring at the future and at the environment, which in this case materializes in the use of ethanol (E100), produced by BP







In words of Franz von Holzhausen, the Director of Design of Mazda North America, " Mazda Furai blurs deliberately form the line that traditionally has separated the vehicles of street from the race track vehicles. Historically, a breach has always existed between the models of competition and the vehicles of series with high services - the so-called supercars-, which emulate in the real world the competition models. The Furai reduces this breach as no other vehicle has done it before. "

Maserati Gran turismo - Automotive TV Test (Italian)

Michael Schumacher Vs "Mortal" guy

Hello folks, these are two videos showing a race between a journalist and Michael Schumacher, which is meant to be a proof that Ferrari's F430 Scuderia are enjoyable to almost everyone, and that you don't need to be Raikkonen, Schumacher or Massa in order to "exploit" all it's capacities as a super car...



There's an interview with M. Schumacher on part 1, it is originally made in English, but with an italian traduction, i'll try to give you the best translation of it ...

Part 1



Quattroruote:
So, Michael, what's your role on the Ferrari F430 Scuderia's development?

M. Schumacher:
It was a project, where i was involved at very early stage, and this was just after i was leaving the F1, it is a street car of course, but it's meant to have an "extreme" sportive approach on Race tracks.
We've tested this car in Fiorano, but not only at Fiorano, but Nürburgring, and Ballocco... Which was great.

Part 2


In the end the Quattroruote magazine journalist, had an overall score of 1:31 mins. @ Fiorano, against the 1:28 mins. of M. Schumacher, proving that the F430 Scuderia it's enjoyable to almost everyone, even if you're not a seven times F1 world champion ;)
