First Look At Mazda Taiki

The Mazda Taiki is a two-seater concept car, which will be introduced at the 2007 Tokyo Auto Show in late October. Mazda claims the Taiki's design was inspired by hagorom "the flowing robes that enable a celestial maiden to fly in Japanese legend."

Mazda Taiki sets a new trend for the front-engine rear-drive sports car of the future.

(To me, it also resembles a samurai taking his lightning wheels of power through an enemy camp at 300 mph).

Implications - Mazda Taiki is a car concept that is a two seater. This love seat-inspired car was initially unveiled in October 2007 at the Tokyo Auto Show. What a fantastic car concept the Mazda Taiki is.
