    So is that Vision as in a GT Vision? I haven't seen anything about GT mentioned.

    Shame about the styling. Good thing it's only a concept. I know the FD is a hard act to follow, but I know Mazda can do better than this. It's okay, has a couple interesting ideas, but overall meh.

    Regardless, 2-seat sports car with a fixed roof gets two big thumbs up from me.

    Some pics from Speedhunters:




    It seems very exaggerated, quite cartoon-like, in the huge wheels, long bonnet and low greenhouse. It also reminds me a lot of Mercedes, both their Vision GT concept and the AMG GT production car it lead to. However, it's good-looking, and I could imagine a production car with more realistic proportions looking good based on these themes.

    Mazda are aiming for something around the size and weight of a Cayman or slightly lighter (1400kg), according to Autocar, which sounds great to me. I think they are thinking along the right lines, if they can bring it to the point of production viability I trust they'll nail the handling, it's really whether they can develop it to production readiness at all.

    That concept looks like it could house a great big V12.

    Zoom-zoom mother fucker.
