Mazda Creates Taiki Concept
The Mazda Taiki concept is an unusual vehicle that reminds you of a futuristic movie that you once saw. That doesn’t mean that we don’t like it just that it is always strange to see a car that defies the designs that we are accustomed to seeing everyday.
The Taiki is built for speed and minimal eco-impact and if it makes it to production may very well be used as a vehicle for racing. The Taiki’s dramatic curves are supposed to give you the movement of air around the vehicle as it speeds down the road.
Mazda used many different technologies the main one being RENESIS (rotary engine 16X) - which sets new standards for environmental and driving performance, a front-engine rear-drive layout, a unique 2-seat configuration, and Mazda’s rotary sports package, which conveys an image of lightness. The effect integrates the design theme perfectly to realize outstanding aerodynamic performance.
This brilliant design was inspired by the Hagoromo - flowing robes that enable a celestial maiden to fly in Japanese legend – floating down from the sky. The notion of creating an Air-tube became the concept word for the interior design.
In accordance, from the dashboard and seats down to the door trim, the interior space creates the dynamic sensation that the flow of the wind is being visually depicted. Centering around the performance rotary engine sports packaging that is synonymous with the Mazda name.
