What really makes this new prototype race car stand out is its implementation of the KODO design language. This is the same design DNA found on Mazda’s current production lineup as well. The design will debut at the race track for the first time at the 2017 Rolex 24 at Daytona in July 2017.

The Mazda RT24-P implements this design language by using sleek body contours, as well as containing Mazda’s five-point grille design, albeit in a smaller variation than the production models. Using such design features, the race car achieves the goal of creating a car that appears to be in motion and in action even when at a standstill.
