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).
 The latest, and perhaps wildest, Mazda concept vehicle yet will be formally unveiled in late October at the 2007 Tokyo Auto Show. Ford's Japanese subsidiary says it "reflects one possible direction for a future generation of Mazda sports cars aimed at helping create a sustainable society."
The fourth and latest iteration in the company's ongoing Nagare design series, the Taiki borrows its name from the Japanese word for "atmosphere." The design intent was to create the visual impression of air flowing through a tube.
