With the doors open, the Mazda Senku (concept car only, sadly) looks almost like the Batmobile. Wankel engine with hybrid unit and various shennanigans. Nice.

Yes, named after its inventor, Felix Wankel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wankel).

Looks a little like a 4-wheeled version of the 150mph enclosed BMW motorbike mod that some mad Texan sells for about $100k. Except that that one has two seats, not four. Can't remember enough about it to link to it, unfortunately.

That's horrible! I like the doors (and the Wankel rotary - points at userpic) but the back end's almost as bad as the Megane's.

I shoudl jolly well hope it's "for adults", btw!

Mmm, Wankelmotor.

I'm not too fond of the back, either.
It was the wing doors that made me click on it. The whole thing has a bit of an art-deco/Sky Captain feel to it, too.

I see now why "rotary engine" is used more frequently over here. *shakes head*
