The black ‘11 GS460 behind the NSX has since been replaced by a ‘15 GS350 in blue/tan.

You should get another blue car.

I am slightly out of breath in the last chat, which was because we filmed a lead-in shot of me sprinting for like 100m out of the woods getting chased by bees. It was cut for time.

Mazda’s rotary sports cars are completely dead, as is the engine itself.
