Mazda Motor Corporation is looking good with their Ryuga (Japanese for "gracious flow") leading the movement of younger, sleeker sports family cars. This gull-winged read automobile stores a 2.5L engine and 6-speed automatic gearbox. The streaks that flow along the vehicle panels to contribute to the aerodynamic design inspired by nature. Specifically, Mazda designers drew inspiration from karesansui (Japanese dry gardens). Bamboo dripping with morning dew helped inspire the sleek advanced LED headlamps. The rear of the vehicle is equipped with multiple rear-view cameras for the driver's convenience. The front bucket seats provide comfort and modern styling.
The video illustrates the flow of wind passing along the optimally-place streaks. The tear-slit-shaped dual-exhaust complement the similarly shaped front and rear lights. The leather-wrapped steering wheel looks to be derived from a jet cockpit. It's shape is similar to Honda's fuel-cell FCX Clarity or a combination of a Lamborghini and Honda Insight. The spirit of this automobile is derived from its predecessor, the Mazda Nagare concept vehicle and seats 4 passengers. Compared to the Mazda 3 hatchback, the Ryuga is a whole foot lower and shorter. The youthful design incorporates a black glass upper body and bold red lower body. The 21-inch 10-spoke wheels sit at the far corners of the Ryuga's body to increase balance and stability.
Mazda's Zoom Zoom movement is officially going in the right direction with the phenomenal Ryuga.
"The real significance of both Nagare and Ryuga, is that it's the first time Mazda has ventured forth in search of a design motif that is undeniably new. Both concepts are exploratory studies and neither is planned for production. While Mazdas of the past and present have embraced flow in various ways, it's our intention to greatly intensify that character in the future." - Laurens van den Acker, Design Division General Manager for Hiroshima, Japan's Mazda Motor Corporation
