Colani Mazda Le Mans?

1983. Flying object for the road. With his prototype for Mazda, Colani took the principle of wing cars to the extreme.

The plan was, at a later stage, to use a 4-chamber Mazda Wankel rotary engine, capable of between 960 and 1400 hp for the Le Mans vehicle, which was only available as a life-size model.

The wing shape was meant to enable this veritable powerhouse to accelerate to speeds of 350-380 km/h.

Of course. Well done, man!

I´ve had the opportunity to scan a collection of an ex-Colani employee.

Here are all the pics of this fabulous prototype I have on my HDD:

Was it ever working car or just a mock-up?

I think it was only a mock up.
