Mazda RX-8 Concept Art



I recently had the great pleasure of visiting Hiroshima and
the Mazda Museum. Here are some quick pics of the tour...I will post
more details, pics and possibly vids in the near future...Stay tuned and enjoy!

Mazda2 / Demio Concept Art


Mazda2 / Demio Concept Art


Mazda MPV Concept Art


Mazda5 / Premacy Concept Art






The reason for the Mitsubishi Logo under the Mazda Logo is that in the early days,
Mazda did not have a dealer/distributor network...So they sold these trike trucks through Mitsubishi.
































Mazda 787B...Nuff Said!












I believe this was an early 4Rotor prototype engine.

The second pic, is that a concept of the Mazda3? If so, why couldn't Mazda stick with that front bumber?!

Nice.

I was there last year for the museum and factory tour.
Unfortunately, Mazda doesn't build the 3 at that factory.

Click to expand...

Looks like a concept for the Mazda 2. The proportions, lines and the lights look more like the 2.
