Mazda Taiki, the latest concept car form the Japanese producer, follows the path of Mazda’s “flow” design concept (latest example is what’s probably going to be the next Mazda RX-7) with elements of real-world technologies. The Taiki is equipped with a next-generation RENESIS rotary engine under the hood, and the rear-wheel-drive concept is a two-seater.

The Japanese word “Taiki” roughly translates to atmosphere. Mazda used this name to equate the car’s stretched cabin, short overhangs, and glass canopy with the “protective mantle” around Earth.

Hey, I've seen that car somewhere before! I remember wondering why on earth they'd cover up the back tires with part of the body. Now I'm wondering again...

It IS beautiful, though. No doubt about that.

Hmmm... That's a good question.

The only thing I can think of is that having Open-Wheels is really dangerous.
Ever see what happens to Indy Cars when they touch Tires? They pretty much go airborn instantly.

I think the profile looks weird where those Wheel Covers are, but the very back of the car is so fucking sexy.

Oh, hell yeah.
Nothing like a beautiful Rear End to get the Motors revving.

Hah.. I never noticed that actually.
It is a Japanese Car, maybe the Sun never sets on that island.
:dunno:
