Mazda unveils Kazamai Concept

15 Jul, 2008 6 Comments

Mazda has released the first official renderings of its latest concept to join the growing Nagare range.

Dubbed the Kazamai, our first glimpse came almost exactly a month ago in the form of the “Swirling Crosswinds” concept design sketches - its English translation.

Its deceptively hatchback proportions belie its true crossover SUV roots, possibly hinting at a new model to fall below the CX-7 in the coming years to compete with the likes of the Rav4.

Naturally in concept form the Kazamai boasts outrageous 22-inch wheels and the spectacular rakish form inherited from the Nagare philosophy.

You won’t find any pseudo-hybrid empty promises here, the concept features a next-generation direct injection engine and a newly-developed transmission sending power to all four wheels - however fuel consumption and emissions naturally remain as a priority.

The Kazamai concept will make its first public debut in the flesh at the Moscow International Automobile Salon (MIAS), August 26.

Could someone please tell Mazda to stop messing around with these concepts and a) put their 2.3 turbo motor in the MX-5…and b) give the RX-8 the power it deserves.

should be called kamikazi owing to fact that if this car is released it will surely die a very quick death when it does not sell. How bloody fugly can these guys make a car?

Mazda must have attended the Subaru School of ill-conceived Design and graduated with Honours
