Where are the hood and trunk cut lines?

@@rlsedition there is some lines at the bonnet but your right bout the trunk i think they did some sort of mid engine configuration with the battery at the back

@@arthurluzitano6998 Yes, on second look I can see some hood cut lines, but with the tightest lines ever on a car.

lines are never stupid or pointless

@@Pertev777 Disagree. Some car makers have gone bonkers with lines and creases. Yes, it's all about the look, but you can go too far with those, and many have done so.

Yea this felt like a Rx7 redux kinda for me.

Or an MX3 😂

Exactly it looks like their current era design fused with old era

I owned an FD. This is the second car I've listed after since. The first was the Tesla roadster 2.0. the designer, Franz, led the Mazda Furai concepts. Hope they make this one!

Check out Mazda's 2022 vision study

sounds like you have never driven one

@@westendthug1408 I haven’t but I’m very picky when it comes to cars and most of my favorite cars are not your typical cars that everyone else wants. I also never discredited Mazda in anyway I just said I was never too big on them. There’s multiple factors that go into what cars I buy which is why picking the right one for me isn’t as simple as it may be for other people. Without having driven a Mazda before I already know that they’ve made plenty of fun and capable cars

@@T5_T-Rell You're right. My 1999 Mazda Miata has never had a breakdown! Thanks to my Genius Sweet Brother, which replaced everything in it. Also keeps the maintenance up before it's due! He's my Angel.

That's if Mazda allows the car to become a production model. If not, it's going to remain a concept. I would love to see this concept and RX-Vision become production cars.

You should look up the other two concepts Mazda put out. Vision Coupe and RX Vision

Yep!!!! No resemblance of any Miata MX5. Its just some bodged up exotic Mazda sports concept car....meaningless.

Yes, RX7 plus spoiler fender 💯 longer front hood stretches

Yes, it looks like a real sports car. Remember it’s still just a concept car, and I’ll be very surprised if it looks quite that sleek if and when it does get released.

Might've been the RX9

On fire? :)

not going to talk about rx 9 in 2015?

That was epic

@@lensoprezole5322 Looks like a future Miata. Look up the Mazda RX Vision

And the perfect fitment on the wheels. Why do they change it in production, you get tucked in very high suspension.

@@lensoprezole5322 I don't like the designs of Koenigsegg, Lamborghini, and Ferrari because they are too cluttered and unnecessarily flashy. However, the design of this car showcases the essence of design through purity and simplicity. Even in my dreams, I want to ride this car.

If this is going to be for sale, you'll see it coming out of my driveway .

Are they pop ups or covers?

@@The50d 03:47

So it is something like MX30Rev? It runs by the electric motor from the battery and rotary is only used for charging the batteries?

@@mnap89 Yes, that's what I'm afraid of... I truly welcome the Serial Hybrid architecture...but I just that they change the Layout from Front Transverse to Front Longitudinal for a perfectly Symmetrical Layout...

Lucky u

@@lensoprezole5322 i don't understand the idea of having a rotary engine only for charging the batteries. I find it stupid

Sadly all the stunning details of this probably won't make it into production. Mazda make stunning concepts, like Subaru, that vanish into thin air.

Would be nice. I thought maybe the covers retracted fully but flipped up like that I can't see how they'd be legal. Maybe it's a complexity they wouldn't want to bother with in a production version. I like the sense of the lights giving the vehicle the feeling of being alive and a bit of theatre.

Most likely not due to regulations in the EU (they're not necessarily illegal in the US as far as i know). Either that or they'll make a NA only model with the pop-ups...but having different versions would inflate the production costs. Either that or they won't sell it in the EU which is unlikely.

Never going to happen

beautiful but completely Useless : heavy.... too powerful ....in a world that want you to drive no more than 50 mph = RIDICOLOUS!!! It's a pity because it is really attratctive.

@@lensoprezole5322 Koenigsegg has to sacrifice some beauty for performance. They are purposeful and aggressive but like a Hayabusa, they aren't really beautiful. This Mazda concept is purely about visual appeal.

This is the concept for the next gen MX-5/Miata. Mazda has a very good reputation for having concept vehicles that become future models, get made into production models. RX-Vision from 2015 is a notable exception which got canned. But almost all of their concept cars have made it more or less, to the production line.

@@inodesnet This is not related to the next-gen MX-5. It has a fixed roof, it's longer, it's way heavier, and in general it's way more of a 'far-out' concept. The next-gen Miata will still be a traditionally light ICE car and isn't as far out as this study is aiming for.

@@inodesnet what releases won't be anything like this. think of the supra concept and what we actually got. nothing alike.

@@flowmastaflam Toyota and Mazda tackle concepts very differently. Mazda is the only mass producing car company that creates clay models up to full size, then scans in the models rather than designing them from drawings into CAD then building full scale mockups. They primarily do their main future models this way through concepts at first. Not all concepts make it all the way through, but look at the concepts for every Mazda models and you'll note there is a strong correlation between concept and production. Nissan often does a similar thing of very close concept to production. Toyota and Honda on the other hand usually don't. Must say though, I have double checked the dimensions and they don't align really with a MX-5. Unless it is MX-5 sized, I have doubts for production mainly because not many mass production car makers have room for two sports cars without collaborations, and Mazda doesn't like collaborations after being restrained by their last partnership. The RX Vision was the car of the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. I was gorgeous but never made production.

@@teunkoerts123 i have to correct you on one thing, this is a light car, 3100 lbs light and its a hybrid the next generation mx5 will be somewhere around this number too with all the safety and emission regulation stuff although i do agree its not an mx5 at all

For rx9 the made mazda rx vision, it has bigger dimensions just like the previous rx's, this has smaller body which i think is very suitable for mx

@@kejorafall That was 8 years ago. Now it´s sadly all electric. The rx vision concept was meant to be petrol powered. I think this is an evolution of that design, the next RX9, with an electric engine, and 2 auxiliary rotary engines to justify keeping the RX name on it. It´s smaller so weight doesn´t spoil the handling. The MX5 has never had rotary engines. Besides, this concept is a coupe, not a roadster.

​@@lensoprezole5322is it actually a rx-9 or u just call it that way cause it looks like a rx-7 fd

I to is the next RX-7, not an MX-5

it's not an mx-5 but iconic... different mazda for rich people, i think they want to compete on the amll market too now, the miata will come, the same as ever i think

Mazda have never once said it was an MX5... its the stupid motoring journalists and publishers making that irrelevant connection.

❤

​@@NemoticonTo be fair, Mazda is literally showing this concept in an event centered around the miata. They went out of their way to make this a mx5 themed show. Not to mention the next generation mx-5 isn't far off.

Looks more like the Furai at the front with MX-5 rear end styling.

RX-5

Although I'm not a big fan of the front/tail light designs I do really like the structure of the look of the design where its not obnoxious to look at. While like you said, it has resemblance of one of their most iconic cars they've made. I sure hope car manufacturers especially like Toyota and honda to stop the unnecessary plastic crap design that doesn't need to be over done or be completely there but not even functional. Although so far honda did well with designing their newest civic and Toyota with their GR86.

Buts its not......a new RX7

It’s a great concept but most beautiful car you have ever seen? Think your over hyping this up lol

Hi, I hope they don't make the Mistake like the NSX by not having a targa like it was known for*(They still didn't learn after the refresh while the C8 Crushed it*)or at least have the adjustable top like the current one. Thanks -Smith 'Hot Wheels guy'Die cast Bham Al

They said that they made it with a convertible in mind so the cuts and lines are already there. They just need to implement. You can see a little by the top of the A pillar that it does look like it could very well be a convertible but this one happens to be a coupe. I like the coupe though, it looks fire 🔥!

​@@mihaiserbanescu8676 Absolutely, looks gorgeous as it is. And you could be right too about that possibility.

Or they maybe could skirt the US restrictions by having them flip from hidden to an integrated circular headlight flush to the surface.

Para mí el rotativo es el mejor motor para lo que no lo conocen es lo peor para mí es lo mejor

Mazda has a history of excellent reds. The soul crystal red that we see on Mazda's of today was borne out of a hand painted RX Vision from 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. Customers requested the colour but Mazda said the hand painted nature of it (non linear, very specific layering) meant it wasn't possible to make available. This was done due to lack of body lines used by all other car makers to break up the body, making painting all that much easier. The solution in the end was that Mazda gets a mockup mody, gets the mockup hand painted while doing motion capture on the human painters. These motions are then programmed back into the paint robots on a per colour, per model basis. This makes for some of the best reds for example, but ask any car repair place which colours are the hardest to repair, and the answer will be Mazda's Soul Crystal Red. It's so hard, it's also one of the few colours that has a LOT of KZfaq tutorials for car repair places teach methods for how to repair. (just do a search and you'll see what I mean). So looks great until you crash one. I know mainly because after I had someone hit my CX-8, the car repair place refused to paint it having someone from Mazda come in to do the job.

soul red never misses

@@ayrtttfilms7249 It's not the "red" I'm impressed with but I'm impressed with the paint technology.

?

This car is hybrid. I wish it had ICE only option, because it's a bit too heavy, at 1453kg. It's also not the next MX-5, from what I can tell, but rather an RX concept (two-rotor rotary engine, pop-up lights like RX-7, full roof, etc).

@@stephenkeen6044 i wouldn’t mind if it’s hybrid in this day and age as long as the weight is somewhat under control and the handling not comprised. Regardless, it’s one of the prettier car coming from Japan for sure.

And being lightweight.

@@barsaf9989 indeed

@@iFumoffu Yes. It's beautiful, most attractive new design I've seen in a long time. It even beats the new Alfa 33 design, in my opinion, although the old 33 Stradale (with single headlight) is still my favourite overall car design ever. Beauty is eternal.

Some solutions could appear in production

@@lensoprezole5322 that might be the only thing about the car that remains upon production model.

MX-30 was a lemon, a total sales flop for Mazda.

yeah. Click-bait title! Pisses me off, which is why I've given this a 👎

@@Laz_Arus they dont understand .. like this thing is a Loss in the long run .. you re lsing more money then making in that video

It’s not ideal, but compare it to a Porsche Taycan and it shines!

@@mrknoklene 100 percent, also I read further and it turns out it’s a two rotor hybrid so it’s not fully electric. I doubt it will ever make it to the show room but if it does and they focus on the engine shining over the electric aspect it will be one of the best cars it be made in this decade

@@lensoprezole5322 ahh I was worried about it being a generator. Personally I don’t enjoy electric cars driving the plaid felt boring. The acceleration is fun for a bit but it gets old after a while and I just find it boring. I daily a 2003 ep3 and I think it’s a lot more fun. Im not sure if Mazda did a fake manual transmission or some 5 speed auto for the iconic sp but it will probably have one or two speeds which is super boring

Neither....

Has a rotary range extender and puts out 400hp so yeah, RX-9.
