Mazda, with their Zoom-Zoom ethos, has always sought for ways to
improve their technology. And during the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, that
ethos was in full effect with their theme “Environmental Technology,
Pushing the boundaries of the emotion of motion”.
With their new concept, the 2011 Mazda Takeri, they are integrating their new style concept into the sedan.
Design
The Takeri employs Mazda’s new design language: Soul of Motion. This
imparts sharpness that can only be seen on a few cars outside Mazda.
True to its design language, they have managed to create a sedan that
has a strong beauty and identity. Not only that, this body is both
lightweight and aerodynamic, enhancing both performance and efficiency.
Technology
But don’t think for a second that this car is just for style, as this
car has an abundance of substance too. It employs a lot of Mazda’s new
SKYACTIV technology. The SKYACTIV-D engine, a new diesel engine,
provides more than adequate performance, fuel efficiency, and smoothness
for the Takeri.
Performance
But Mazda did not stop there, to deliver maximum efficiency new
technologies are used to further improve this engine’s fuel efficiency
potential. Regenerative braking converts kinetic energy produced from
braking into electricity used to power the car’s electrical system.
Together with an idling stop system, these electronic gadgets allow for
optimal fuel economy.
The 2011 Mazda Takeri concept car was able to create a bold
statement. If this is the sign of things to come for Mazda, we can
expect some really unique and efficient vehicles in the not so distant
future.
