Revealed at last: what the Mazda Kabura concept was really like to drive
You don’t want to know. It would ruin “ the illusion, wreck every appealing reverie that those bright motor show lights and cooing onlookers once inspired. Did you like it? Think it a shame that it never got built? Great. Let’s not let the facts ruin a lovely, wistful idea.”
As criminally jaded as it must undoubtedly make me seem, this has become the stock response I give when asked what driving a concept car is like. It is, apart from anything else, also a great privilege, a singular opportunity and a huge vote of trust and faith. Any drive like this always feels special one way or another.
