There IS a motor under its hood (it's completely drivable) but Mazda doesn't want the hood to open because they didn't repaint the engine bay (or, presumably, the trunk). If you peek down in the crevice along the hood line (maybe use the flashlight feature on your smartphone), you can see some red paint down inside there."
