The Mazda Furai was a concept car revealed on 27 December 2007. It had Mazda's flagship rotary engine design and chassis based on real Le-Mans car. The car wore the number 55, that of its 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans-winning ancestor, the 787B. While the Top Gear test driver Mark Ticehurst was piloting the Furai on August 19, 2008, it suddenly caught fire, ultimately burning down almost completely, while the pilot escaped fire unscathed. Mazda then abandoned the project, and no news followed.
