I've never had the pleasure, or even been in the presence of a Lotus 69 at full throttle. I can say with out doubt that the rotary powered Courage-Mazda (that this car is based on) was the loudest car that has run in the ALMS.

I do wish Mazda would take a more aggressive approach though. Their program is minuscule compared with Porsche's and Acura's. To me this car signifies more of a desire on Mazda's part to make an uncompromising sportscar. I do think that this concept is far to extreme to make it to the street, but I sure do like what they are thinking.
