Wow...

Is the engine the same old rebadged AER? I wish they could put something more advanced than that in the back of that pretty thing.

Yes. More advanced? Like the production Skyactive diesel they tried to make work for a couple of seasons? :D

Not necessarily. Mazda looks committed to racing enough to be able to develop a decent purpose buit racing engine without relying on an age old unit.

Yes, seriously. They're even developing a new coupè with Wankel engine, so why not?

I was wondering how the brand specific bodywork was going to play out.

Quite please with what I see here.

Also, that Porsche GT is ridiculous... In a good way.

Cadillac DPi!

DPi is great.


Nissan V6 powered Ligier will be at the December Daytona test, not sure if the bodywork will be completed though.
