*All testings are set using the same track conditions as the Le Mans 700PP event which is fuel at 6x & tire wear at 10x. All cars tested mostly fully tuned with all available parts installed. PP requirements met by adjusting weight, power restrictor, etc². All cars go through a clean 1 lap run on fuel map 6 repeated 3x & the fastest time is selected.

Conclusion:
The final new car added which most players don't seem too happy about being included in this 1.38 update. Getting a 4.16 time on Le Mans is ok which places it in B on my ranking. What amazes me is the fuel consumption.. 5 laps on fuel map 6! Well it probably comes to no surprise Mazda's in-game have a good track record in fuel saving. We'll have to wait & see how Polyphony utilizes this but I predict this might probably be one of the go to cars now for Gr.4 races & replacing the Atenza. Handling is also amazing with little to no understeer despite being an FF! FYI, the road ver. with a 26B swap is 4WD, way faster & saves an extra lap on fuel compared to this so for now I say still don't sleep on this car as it's surprisingly good & well balanced.
