It was 2007 when at the Detroit Auto Show the Mazda automaker unveiled Furai that in Japanese means the "sound of the wind" . Mazda was thus celebrating the 40th anniversary of its first model with a rotary engine.

With this prototype Mazda was showing the future of the Japanese automaker's new design, the so-called "Nagare" style later appropriately adapted to mass production in the following years.

But Mazda Furai went beyond a pure stylistic study to become a kind of 300 km/h mobile laboratory in which every detail had a specific functional role.

Equipped with a Wankel R20B engine with three rotors powered by bioethanol, it was capable of delivering a power output of 450 hp.

The American tuner Renntech got its hands on one of the world's most popular sedans: the Mercedes AMG GT 63. The aerodynamic kit, made of carbon fibre, gives the car an aggressive look, but it is under the bonnet that the interesting work of the tuner is hidden. 

New turbochargers, a high-pressure petrol pump and a sports exhaust system allow the saloon to unleash the power of 1196 hp and 1256 Nm of maximum torque, but only using 100 octane petrol. 

This increases the cost of preparation to around 88,200 euros, but it is worth it to be able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and reach 160 km/h in 5.5 seconds.
