New Mazda Kabura Concept

[DeadGeneration]

I wonder what kind of gear ratio they would choose

I wonder what kind of gear ratio they would choose

my best guess is whatever current gear ratio the new MX-5 6-speed manual transmission is running, since its drivetrain is lifted directly from the MX-5.....

Bah, more pics of those women!

Build it with the turboed four and they will come.

Big time.

Right you are. When you realize the new Civic Si has 200hp stock, then you will realize this thing must have at least 200hp stock and cost $20k or less. That is all...

i want the big brake set up!

OOOH YEA... if this thing comes to production 75 percent of that stuff is not going to be there and the other 25 percent is going to be adjusted... would be hot when finished

 

[Crazee D]

ooops....i just skeeted the interior...sorry!

 

[p5power]

i don't know about you guys...but that steering wheel scares me... (boom07)

 

[Chilledboost]

they should have used the powerplant from the mazdaspeed 6. something like that should have the balls to back up its style. come on there is still room in that grille for a front mount

 

[ATLMZ6]

I vote for the Mazdaspeed 6 motor to be in it as well.

From the press release: Power is supplied to Kaburas rear wheels by a 2.0-liter version of Mazdas highly respected MZR DOHC 16-valve engine (we'd respect it more with a turbo, ala MSP6)...

C'mon, build it! The line forms behind me.

Or some aftermarket turbo and supercharger kits.

 

[RedP5er]

Supercharged 2.0MZR

Or some aftermarket turbo and supercharger kits.

Your wish has been granted.

Supercharged 2.0 MZR in a MX-5.

Don't like that chrome ring/mustashe thing around the front Mazda "M"blem. Other than that it looks good.

 

[MazdaSpeedSter]

I wonder whast the price is going to be about. SLOW ASS P.O.S.

The CONCEPT isn't even a reality and you're already calling it a "slow ass p.o.s." You have know clue what a production spec version would do...Have some faith in Mazda...sheesh man...post something worth reading next time...

Was thinking the samething.

 

[Rogue]

looks like the speedometer is connected to the steering wheel... that'll be odd

 

[MazdaSpeedSter]

It's only a 4 banger! 150hp Maybe a low 16 sec. 1/4 mile. Possibly good for a real track like auto x-ing...
