The body presents optimized in terms of aerodynamics with powerful but smooth lines. The metallic-blue-painted sports coupe is a track bigger than a current Mazda6 production vehicle and is quite bold in its beautiful aluminum rims. A little reminiscent of the Peugeot Concept Shinari to SR1, but is nevertheless completely independent.
"Shinari means" in Japanese as much as "powerful and flexible," said Mazda's chief designer Ikuo Maeda: "In design, we want to accurately capture that moment in which breaks loose movement - similar to a leopard, which stretches in front of the jump his body." Mazda is often poetic when it comes to new cars.
The dashboard is oriented towards the driver. The interior offers a mix of materials from aluminum and leather. The operating system with the three-dimensional information display in the center console is divided into three basic modes: Business telephone controls and on-line connection, Pleasure controls the audio and multimedia features in one true sport from chassis and engine characteristics.
