Furai Conect 08 Test Lap

Welcome to my Gran Turismo blog, I'll be testing cars and so on. Here is a rough review of the Furai concept.
Well this car may only be a Mazda but it has set the fastest time around our GT Gear Test Track. It looks a treat, the wires are colourful and visible at the the back of the car. It sounds great too. Well at 9000RPM it should do. The 9000 revs are slightly let down by the 400 something BHP. It flew around our track and hit a max speed of about 183 MPH (just keep in mind that our track goes up and down alot). It achieved a time of roughly 1 minute 46 seconds. This time was even faster than the Bugatti Veyron that we tested. We predict that the Mazda will remain top for the foreseeable future...

The outside of the Furai is a feast for your eyes, it has sparkly lights everywhere. At the back of the car is floresent wires that change between red and green, it really looks amazing. And that's just the back of the car. The other lights are located on the side of the doors (both sides, odviouslly) and of the front of the car in a smile shape.

You can definatly tell that this car was designed for racing at Le Mans, it sounds spectacular at 9000 RPMs. But with such a high RPM and low BHP (487) it is evidently a car that favours accelaration to top speed, but that's ok as it is still one of the best overall cars in the game.
