    Mazda R&D Basement Tour Photos



    Recently, I got to drive Sharka to California and back. While there, I had a nice vacation with my family, spent time with some CA folks, attended a KINOD meet.... and went to the Mazda Basement!!!!

    I'm slowly blogging about this. It'll take me a few more days. Our small tour group was in there for about 90 minutes with a 90 minute q/a session afterwards. I took around 350 photos.

    787.


    To see more pix and read my ramblings about the Basement Race Cars, hit my blog. I don't wanna just copy the post here.

    I'll have Road Cars in my next blog post. And after that will be the Miatas.

    Mazda Basement Road Cars
    (except for Miatas)

    That's right - there's no Miatas in this one. I shot so many pix that I thought keeping the Miatas in their own post would be the best way to go.

    Hit my blog to check out all of the pix. There's over 30.


    Luce Rotary Coupe


    GLC and GTX


    Team Mazdaspeed


    REPU!


    REPU interior


    Rotary Row




    .... and her.


    Cosmo Sport


    Dat ass



    I don't know how, but she needs to be in my life. She's so beautiful.

    I am so envious of this trip! Amazing images!
    I've got a lot less horsepower - luckily they are Japanese horses - usually in better shape and more motivated.

    Miata Content! At long last!


    VIN numbers 17, 15, and 14.


    The OEM benchmark


    M Speedster


    1989 Club Racer


    The Club Racer is a pre-production car modified by Mazda in 1989.


    The lost color car?


    Super 20!!




    I've got a bunch of Miata pix from the basement on my blog at long last. There's 25 pix and that's not including the M Coupe or the NB Concept car. Those two will be in my last Basement blog post.

    Check out the post here.

    Oh here we go! Love that yellow! Come to think of it, that orange isn't so bad either.

    That yellow M coupe is perfect. Not only the shape (looks so fresh and classy at the same time), but also that particular tone of yellow is stunning

    Moar M coupe content plz!

    and finally...



    The M Coupe & NB Prototype


    It flows so well.


    FD glass?


    Tiny windows


    Extended package tray



    NB Prototype


    Such an odd car.


    More pix are on my final Mazda Basement Post.
