Mazda MX-5 Coupe
To be offered in limited numbers, the MX-5 Coupe concept, modelled on past Alfa designs, takes the aging MX-5 in a fresh new direction. Expect to see the all-new MX-5 revealed at the Geneva Auto Show in early March.
Falken Mustang GT
One of the first 2005 model Mustangs to be brought into Japan, tiremaker Falken has reworked the engine internals and added an intercooler to produce 514 horsepower from its 5.0-liter V-8 engine.
Scoot RX-7
This is what the Auto Salon is all about. Pushing the envelope and tackling ideas that the carmakers don’t. The Esprit 350Z might have featured a 702-horsepower GT-R straight-six, but the Scoot RX-7 employs two 2-rotor rotary engines bolted together, pumping out in excess of 470 horsepower. And just to show how mad all of this is, the designers fitted an grossly oversized gear shift, just for the fun of it all.
