That 1023 is amazing!! More digging has turned up nothing. Safe to say it never made production?

The caption says it was a design study, and it seems to also have been known as the Familia Sport 4 (maybe also Super 4, but could be a mistype on the article). It also seems to share a lot with the M2 1005, another Familia based car. Neither appears to have ever made it to production. Could be way off here as well, but it also seems like the 1005 was planned to be Mazda's Group B entry (or at least the homologation base for it), while the 1023 was supposed to be the road going car that you could get number plates for.

Crazy how much M2 designed haha. I thought I knew a decent amount about M2 with just the 1001, 1002, 1006, 1028, and the 1015. But there are way more than just those apparently.

So far this is a great Saturday thanks to you and Phat (note to self, need to figure out Minkara). So much new stuff I never knew about M2 and that 1005? Hnnnnng
