From the Batmobile to Knight Rider\u2019s KITT, futuristic supercars have captured adult and adolescent imagination alike for generations. You may be more a fan of the souped-up vehicles of \u201cDeath Race 2000\u201d or the more grounded tricked out rides of the \u201cThe Fast and The Furious\u201d franchise, but we guarantee some Hollywood-style car has caught your eye and affixed itself permanently in your brain. You might be focused on the here and now of your car and it\u2019s modification or issues<\/a>, but fueling the imagination never hurts.<\/p>\n

For those of you in our CorkSport community who always thought Speed Racer\u2019s powerful Mach 5 was dope, you\u2019re going to love this new concept Mazda: the Mazda Shinshi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Mazda of the Future?<\/h2>\n

\"Mazda<\/p>\n

Designed by Barcelona\u2019s Miguel Angel Bahri<\/a>, the Mazda Shinshi looks ready for the mean streets of \u201cAkira\u2019s\u201d Neo-Tokyo. \u201cAfter the initial thoughts, the challenge was to develop a concept inspired by the Japanese culture,\u201d Nahri explains. \u201cTaking, also, influence from nature and the ocean, with the stingray and the samurai’s DNA serving as a bridge to connect the SHINSHI proposal with Mazda’s design philosophy.\u201d You can delve into all his influences and design process more deeply<\/a>, from fighter pilots to James Franco, but we think he\u2019s delivered on his inspiration in spades.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With 4 in-wheel electric motors and integrated systems, Bahri didn\u2019t just look at a sleek exterior, he put some attention to performance, as well. The wheel systems are fed by a graphene-optimized supercapacitor and a rotary bio-fueled engine boost that main battery for a clean energy car that might make you scoff, until you see his specs have it max out at 310 kph (192 mph) \u2014 still some good race track fun to be had from this environmentally-conscious concept car!<\/p>\n

Get ready to Top Gun this ride, Maverick!<\/h2>\n

\"Mazda<\/p>\n

The feature that really makes this design feel futuristic, though, is the flight control-like steering wheel.<\/p>\n

How a wheel like this really functions on the road is pure speculation, but you\u2019ve got to admire the design sense. \u201cBlade Runner\u201d-style flying cars might be many years away, and \u2014 let\u2019s be honest \u2014 would probably take the fun out of curve-hugging road driving, but a Mazda that makes you feel like a test pilot would be worth a test drive, at least.<\/p>\n
