The Mazda Shinar is a sports coupe with 4 doors and 4 seats in the design “Kudos” (Soul of the movement), is expressed in its most pure and idealized. For starters, the Mazda Shinar showcases innovative design elements that will be production models, and opens new design theme.

Contrary to what has been published in numerous media, Mazda representatives assured us that this car will not go to Paris Motor Show. It’s just a sample of the design of the future generation of Mazda, which will arrive in late 2011 in Japan and Europe in 2012.

The Japanese word describes the appearance Shinar powerful and flexible elastic force which have high strength materials such as steel or bamboo, when folded or torsion an. It also refers to the appearance of a person or animal when it bends its body and prepares to execute a quick movement.

Such images form the basis of the file name of this “concept car”. That’s why the car looks ready to leap at any time, like a cheetah on the run, the animal relied upon the three Mazda design team (from USA, Japan and Germany), which coordinated for the design.

Its shape conveys the image of a strong spine, which runs throughout the body, the sudden release of stored energy and the interaction between aesthetic and smooth movements. Its distinctive front fenders are an evolution of the robust fins RX-8. They emphasize the dynamic movement that expresses the side of the body of Shinar, with a sporty and elegant.

The most striking on the outside is three-dimensional geometry of the front grille shows the Mazda family membership. In it comes from a powerful line of movement that continues through the bonnet and wings, the front headlight assembly and bumper. Finally, an aluminum molding floating grid connected to the optical groups and power-speed three-dimensional expression.

Inside, Mazda design has resulted in an undeniably athletic space in which the priority has been to link ergonomics to the basic mechanical functions. We have designed an optimal space for both the driver’s cab, designed to help you concentrate on driving, as for other passengers, a cabin with a feeling of openness.

In this model, Mazda has used to incorporate new ideas for the man-machine interface in cockpit design, by providing the driver three modes: Business, Pleasure and Sport, that the car’s behavior fits the situation at each moment.

First revealed in Tokyo earlier this year, Mazda will give the concept of Takeri its European debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

With this announcement, Mazda has released a new series of photos showing the mid-size sedan in broad daylight giving a greater sense of the presence of the vehicle.

Takeri The concept is a preview of next-generation Mazda6, and will be joined in Geneva by the new Mazda CX-5 compact crossover SUV and the MX-5 Special Edition Spring 2012, which is reserved for the European market.

One of the new technologies that were showcased on the concept Takeri is the i-ELOOP Loop (Intelligent Energy) regenerative braking system. Combined with the 2.2 liter diesel engine Mazda SKYACTIV connected to a six-speed automatic transmission and the start / stop, the concept Takeri can travel about 1,500 kilometers (932 miles) of autonomy.

The new generation Mazda6 will reportedly be offered in four body styles: sedan, hatchback, coupe family. The first three variants are expected in 2013, while the coupe is likely to make its debut a year later.

This is one of the cars that most people see they can move and draw attention to its design, but which will normally be forgotten at the time of purchase. You could call it the “misunderstood.” Who has ever had in class or at work to a fellow like that?, We never bother to talk to him or know him a little more, is there, period. For the Mazda 3 is one of those, is a great car, if you ask everybody knows it is, but no one has in mind. I will try to change this situation because I think the car deserves it.

The Mazda 3 is included in the compact class, where the seller militate Volkswagen Golf, Ford Focus, Renault Megane … We, the cream of the “society”, so it is very complicated. The design is very nice, with an absolute predominance of very sharp lines, giving it a modern look and aggressive.

The chassis on which rests the body is the same as in the Focus, one of the best and reference in its segment, so that the capabilities of this car is overwhelming. There are only versions 5 and 4-door wagon version or no 3-door, but I really do not think are necessary, with these two variants, the car is practical enough for everyday use and has not lost one iota their qualities and sports tourers.

The reliability of the engines is beyond doubt and has been endorsed and verified by tests of the OCU and the German TÜV, in addition to the thousands of drivers who own a Mazda, because if you look, there are many units that could called “old”, ie more than 10 years behind them.

The engines driving the Mazda 3 are: a 1.6 with 115hp RTDC and 2.2 CRTD with two variants, 150 and 185cv. This in the mechanics and diesel fuel that we have the 1.6 S-VT with 105hp, the 2.0 DISI with 1HP extra 150hp or if you incorporate Start-Stop system and the powerful Mazda 3 MPS, with the 2.3 DISI 260cv. All engines are associated with a manual transmission 5 or 6 gears, the brand automatic switching rejected for export and you can only buy it with this broadcast in Japan and the United States.

Technological innovations are cutting edge and have even taken the sleeve first single nanotechnology catalyst, which prevents 90% the use of precious metals in the manufacture of this component.

But hey, let’s go inside. The materials used for this car are very good and very nice touch. The seats are comfortable, well grab the body and find the right balance between comfort and firmness. We found the driving position very easily from the steering wheel, unlike other Japanese models are adjustable in height and depth.

The dashboard is slightly oriented towards the driver and the controls are also designed in a very ergonomic. Everything is easy to read, access and activation, but only you can put a very small browser screen, but that if they have had the details of putting a visor that does not reflect the sun and can read maps.

The equipment is also very broad, as we have finished adaptive xenon lights, heated seats, obstacle recognition system in the blind spot, HI-FI sitema Bose 10-speaker
