·Arising from the keywords "dignity" and "dynamism," the car's design forms an emotional silhouette that amplifies the elation of driving and the pride of ownership.
PIXY ·PIXY is a single-seat low-speed transportation tool centered on the concept of human-friendly mobility capable of coexisting with people on sidewalk and in hallway alike.
·By virtue of its simple operation and its linkage with SSC and other transport units, PIXY extends the joy of riding to both the rider and passers-by.
·Naturally, the PIXY is designed with the environment in mind - its fast-charge storage capacitor emits no exhaust gases, which allows it to move seamlessly between indoor and outdoor situations.
·The steering control, which operates much like a computer mouse, delivers intuitive and responsive control such as 360° in-place rotations.
SSC ·SSC is a mini-vehicle transport unit that can move like a car after loading and docking with a PIXY. One SSC can carry two PIXYs.
·The SSC is powered by a fuel cell system. For supplementary energy, the roof and windows contain solar panels to charge the onboard batteries with natural energy.
·The generated electricity not only powers the SSC but also fast charges the PIXY. And in addition to providing motive energy, the SSC, while parked, can supply energy externally to public utilities.
X-HEAD ·X-HEAD spawned from the Jimny and Escudo, with their excellent all-terrain handling, and the Carry, with its tremendous hauling capacity, and falls under the new cross-utility vehicle category.
·The X-HEAD's 4WD system uses a limited-slip center differential enabling superior off-road handling and on-road stability. The three-link rigid suspension front and back and the large-diameter tires make larger approach and departure angles for higher terrain clearance.
·The rear bed comes with a bike-storage rail. The multipurpose boxes built in the side panels add to the utility of the rear bed.
PALETTE ·The Palette's exterior features an emotional design consisting of firm contours. The interior boasts a two-tone black-beige instrument panel and a design that creates both an expansive feeling and rich texture.
·Both rear power sliding doors open up wide and have wide stepboards, enhancing the ease of getting in and out of the Palette.
·The long wheelbase ensures plenty of legroom for rear-seat passengers. And the tall interior ceiling and low-slung flat floor make for a more roomy and relaxed cabin space.
·The vast glass area gives an overwhelming sense of freedom.
·The Palette's low-slung platform forms a larger luggage space with plenty of access room.
E07A Mazda Mazda TAIKI Mazda Taiki continues the evolution of the Nagare design theme, following in the footsteps of the Mazda Nagare, Mazda Ryuga, and Mazda Hakaze concept cars. As the fourth in the series, Mazda Taiki further advances and refines the theme through a fusion of the Nagare (flow) design concept and real-world technologies, such as a next-generation rotary engine and enhanced aerodynamic performance. Mazda Taiki sets a new ideal for the front-engine rear-drive sports car of the future.
New Mazda Premacy Hydrogen RE Hybrid The new Premacy Hydrogen RE Hybrid is equipped with a transverse hydrogen rotary engine, featuring Mazda's hydrogen/gasoline dual-fuel system. The hybrid system efficiently converts energy from hydrogen combustion to electricity and uses it to power the motor. This vehicle promotes practical use thanks to an extended hydrogen-fueled range, and enhanced driving performance and packaging. Leasing is now-planned to commence in 2008.
Next Generation I-4 Direct Injection Gasoline Engine With the next-generation 2.0L gasoline engine, we are aiming for a 15% to 20% increase in dynamic performance and a 20% increase in fuel economy (in-company comparison with the current 2.0L engine). Particular attention was paid to direct injection, combustion control, variable valve system technology and catalyst technology to reduce all energy losses and improve thermal efficiency. Further, Mazda is developing a new catalyst employing single nano technology that simultaneously improves emissions-cleaning capability and reduces the volume of precious metal required in a 3-way catalytic converter.
Next Generation Clean Diesel Engine In developing our 2.0L diesel engine for the future, we aimed at emissions performance to meet global standards and fuel economy raised by as much as 10%. We are also pursuing the kind of performance that allows stress-free driving up to high engine speeds. To fulfil our aims, we are promoting direct piezo-injection technology enabling multi-stage injection, reduction of the weight and size of every reciprocating and rotating component, and a lightweight aluminum cylinder block. Also, two-stage turbocharger to yield both high torque in the low rev range and improved acceleration response is adopted. The most advanced catalyst technologies, such as a highly efficient catalyst to burn particulate matter, are also fitted.
Next Generation RENESIS (Rotary Engine 16X) In developing the next-generation RENESIS, Mazda made a thoroughgoing revision of engine dimensions including the trochoid rotor housing, adopting a longer stroke and larger displacement of 1600cc (800cc x 2) aimed to improve thermal efficiency and boost torque at all engine speeds. By employing the Hydrogen RE design policy of a direct injection system and aluminum side housing, as well as various other measures, we are further promoting the rotary engine's merits of light weight and compact size.

E01 Mitsuoka Orochi Kabuto A new proposal was included in the design of unique of "Orochi" by the thing equipped with a light, high-level parts such as special parts and CFRP (carbon fiber glass) chosen for old Japan "Helmet, armor", and a more combat, aggressive, new design was born.

Kanazawa's craftsman gives beauty, technology, and platinum foils of a Japanese tradition partially of the interior parts, and "Beauty of Japan" that a super-car in the world doesn't have is expressed in the interior. Sales are actually put in view.

The muffler of the article is newly produced excluding the visual. It produces a functional beauty and the sound.

It is not caught in the category of the car. "Play mind. Feel free of the super-car life." It is a super-car of the new paradigm that arose in the origin of the idea.
