I’m so glad I chose Mazda in 2020 official season and so proud we can bring Mazda into World Final.The main reason to make me feel so special is because I personally work in Mazda Australia as a new cars salesman. This will be very special experience for myself & Mazda.

This car is one of the best looking car in GT Sport. The 50:50 weight balance makes the car handling very well,and match with Mazda SKYACTIV principal - Jinba ittai.The heart running by Rotary engine which make this concept car perfect, the sound, the high Rev, the high pitch makes you so enjoy to push it to the limit around the race track.
