Post by: navara on October 07, 2011, 02:52:03 AM: Looks like the Mazda RX-33 (1988) designed by Mazda R&D in Noth America. It was a follow up to RX-44 (1987). It had a mid engined rotary unit. There was the original, and a type 2 with modified rear bodywork making soft fins on the rear fenders. From the picture I think this is the original. Both concepts had the cabin very far forward, with the windshield touch down almost ahead of the front wheels, and a really long rear deck with a split rear window. Do you have other pictures?

Post by: Delorean on October 07, 2011, 03:42:39 AM: Could be right, the car seems to be located at a Mazda Dealer ...
Title: Re: My first photo for the guess. I don't know what this is.
Post by: navara on October 07, 2011, 02:56:42 PM: I'm pretty sure it is the Mazda concept, I have pictures and a write up about it from a Car Styling book from around 1989 , It looks to be the same car, even the badge on the front is the same.

Could you, please, share these pictures and info?

Post by: navara on October 09, 2011, 04:21:24 PM: I'm not sure the picture attached, but the car was from 1988 not 1989, placing the cowl as far forward as possible was one of the main objectives of the design.
