looks like someones own render and not the real thing to me, E92 M3 bonnet bulge, Kabura front end, the rear end started as a european honda civic, middle looks like a mixture of SLK and 8C Competizione, CX-7 wheels, not sure what the wing mirrors are from though, but they are damn big and ugly...
Whether it is fake or real, IMO this is a fantastic design. One of the best sports car (with closed roof) designs I've seen in years. I think it is real since it is close to the current designs that is coming out from the Mazda design staff. If it is not a real Mazda picture, then the guy/gal who photoshoped it is one hell of a designer. Another indication it might be real is the power dome on the hood. This feature would not be put on the hood of a photoshop exercise. How could anyone complain about this design? There is no coupe on the market to compare with it, back or front design.

Do the back, not the front. YUK! Looks as ugly as most of their concept cars.

I believe this to be a very good photoshop image vs. and actual production vehicle design leaked from Mazda.

There's more on this one in the latest issue of Winding Road!

The front kinda reminds me of the Buick Riveria concept from the Shanghai Motor Show

I think it's a fake, anyways, the front end is too busy with the intake scoops under the headlights-reminds me of fish gills.
