The Mazda Kazamai Concept

Category: Concept Car


Yes, that teaser header is from yet another HOT Mazda concept. This one, the Kazamai, is set to debut at the Moscow Motor Show in just a short while. However, Mazda graced the intrawebz with its presence a few days early, showing off some sexy images.

First and foremost from a design standpoint, Mazda is doing some incredibly exciting things with their concepts. The “wind” theme direction hasn’t gotten old, only BETTER.  The Kazamai excels on all aspects of the form vocabulary: bending, shaping winds criss-cross each other playfully, while at the same time redefining and resculpting the vehicle’s surfaces as they move across.

The vehicle proportions, although a little snouty, have a fresh, muscular look.  This car looks as if it will fly past you on the highway, guaranteed.  And you will be caught staring (also guaranteed).  The vehicle design is pure emotion AND motion.

While only a concept, Mazda is getting closer and closer to reality with their theme.  And although the Kazamai looks like it will speed past anything on the road, the next gen of Mazdas can’t come fast enough.

    “This car looks as if it will fly past you on the highway, guaranteed.” — You mean ‘Zoom, Zoom’ past you on the highway :P.

    I’ve really been liking Mazda’s recent designs and the evolution of Mazda’s ‘design DNA’ over the years.

    And whilst I like this design on the whole, I’m still not entirely sure on the front end although it is quite interesting and has all the ‘Mazda elements’ (e.g. 5-point grille etc). I think it’s due to the ’snouty’ character (nice word selection by the way). However, it is only a concept..
