It looks like more overhang was added while shorting the overall length of the hood :/

Possible test mule from July 2019?

95% of prototypes are always overstyled and exaggerated. im sure (and hoping) the final product will be better proportioned.

the z is a rare bird in that it was pretty much unchanged from the proto

Pretty sure these are the doors.

lol it's common with patents to put the finish part onto a general shaped / outline of a generic car in order to not give away the overall design.

Found some more.

Three patents related to Mazda's aluminum space frame, which was published in 2019, have been registered.

It has to be coming right? Why else would Mazda keep filing design patents?

If it is a joint project, then maybe Toyota is allowing Mazda to run their porotype on their private track.
