 Mazda Kiyora Urban Concept To Debut in Paris
Mazda Kiyora Urban Concept

Mazda has released today a few teaser sketches of its Kiyora Urban Concept slated to make its world debut in Paris this October. 'Kiyora', translated as meaning 'clean and pure' in Japanese represents the harmony between driving pleasure and environmental and safety features aspired to in Mazda's long-term technology development vision, 'Sustainable Zoom-Zoom.'

Incorporating Mazda's aerodynamic Nagare design, the concept of 'Kiyora' influenced Mazda designers to envisage a city car cutting cleanly through an urban landscape, with water as the design theme. The Kiyora is powered by Mazda's next-generation four-cylinder direct-injection engine.

The new Mazda Kiyora concept car is based on an all-new platform designed to minimise weight and maximise safety and driving pleasure. The interior features design and functions targeted to a youthful lifestyle.

All concepts are like this now...crazy swooping lines and ridiculous curves and call it artistic.... What a load of crap this is. This will never be produced.

van holzhausen is design chief at tesla motors now - wonder how much he had his hand in that one or was he just frustrated that none of his nature inspired swooshes will ever get produced and ran away?? oh - I also heard that Tesla s Elon Musk is suing Fisker for a crappy design and stealong technonolgy, apparently after they saw the Fisker Karma that is way better looking than the upcoming Tesla four door Fisker designed for them - go figure
