Here is a complete review of the new RT24-P Daytona Prototype by Mazda that was received by the car enthusiasts with great passion.
Design and the Exterior
The look of this sports car is very much like the Mazda Miata. Built on a Riley Mk 30 chassis, it has the distinct Mazda KODO style. This is a very muscular car with amazing curves and dips that we have come to expect from Mazda race cars. The car features the five point Mazda grille and sleek body contours. A very light weight car, it is built this way to move fast. Since the aerodynamic design of the body makes it possible for it to stand out, it will also help the car to do well in the upcoming race.
Engine and Performance
Meant to perform well in the upcoming race, this car features a 2-litre turbocharged engine with 4 cylinders. Since this new prototype is built on a Riley Mk 30 chassis, it is believed that it will have more than 600 horsepower. However, we do know that paired with the light weight of the car, this engine is strong enough to propel the car ahead much faster.

What Is Next For RT24-P Daytona Prototype?
Currently, the RT24-P Daytona Prototype is in California, but it will be moved to Florida where it will run multiple tests at Daytona International Speedway before the season opening race that will take place from 26th of January to 29th of January in 2017. We will have to wait for two months or so to see it in action, but if the custom made body work is any indication, the wait will be worth it. This prototype sports car has been one of the most highly anticipated vehicles of Mazda and the hype around this marvelous vehicle says it all.
Big Plans Ahead for RT24-P Daytona Prototype
With the ethos of Mazda’s ingenious KODO in mind, this race car has a very stable stance that makes it look ready to race. Expected to be fast, furious and a winner, Mazda has high hopes of winning big with this prototype. It definitely is pretty and it has specifications to back it up as well. Only time will tell if we will see a road version of this car or not.
