Just because it turned into a race car, doesn't turn into SZ or Cool. It does look cool but, first, it's a concept, lasted one year, No longer Sub-Zero, somewhat common mainly in videogames those taht never heard of it, Meh. But then, showed to have problems and one of them was destroyed in a malfunction accident. No more were made.
That alone, was the final nail to the coffin. Shame. SU.

Race car that happens to also be a concept car, or a concept car that also happens to be a race car. Either way, if I or anyone else turned up in a car that looks like this:
Because regardless of how that car is presented in the OP that is how every single Furai looks like today. (Unless the remains have been scrapped, which in all fairness is entirely possible.)
It would be seriously uncool.

Sub-Zero. I don't care if it's a concept. I don't care if it got burned to the ground. It's still an amazing looking concept car with a 3-rotor engine and it's just damn awesome.

Should be super-cool but I really really detest the light fairings at each end. That drags it back to Meh.

I love, love, love how it looks. Easily one of my favourite modern car designs.
But as a functioning car that I can pick up a date in? Yeah, it fails on all counts. It doesn't even exist anymore, so there's no much difference, strictly speaking, between it and a car I've dreamt up just now. The Youabian accomplishes more than this does by dint of simply existing, much to the disappointment of eyeballs and gag reflexes everywhere.
SU.

As already mentioned, all of the pictures in the OP are highly inaccurate as to what the car looks like now.
Seriously Uncool.

Seriously Uncool.
I love Mazda to bits, it's easily the car brand I love the most. And I love the Furai as a machine, it looks wonderful and has a great sounding engine that surely would make it go like stink. But it's Seriously Uncool.
Why do I hate the Furai as a whole then? Because it reminds me of the time when Mazda had no guts and no courage to do crazy 🤬. They could've made the endurance racing world massively better looking, they could've stomped on Toyota and Nissan with a second win at Le Mans...and then they just allow Top Gear Mag to burn it and call it a day.
It's a reminder of that Mazda that made the NC Miata heavier, the Mazda that gave up on the Wankel engine, the Mazda that thought Le Mans was too much. The Mazda that looked like Toyota.

Mazda got banned from using rotaries at Le Mans after the 787b dominated the event. The engine itself could run another 24 hrs after that race if they wanted it to. And I'm sure they'll bring back the Wankel soon.
