Tokyo Autoshow: Mazda Taiki + 16X

Mazda will be showing the far-out TAIKI concept at the Tokyo Autoshow
later this month -- Something less radical than this could find its way into our garages badged as an RX-7 in a few years...



They will also exhibit an all new RE: 16X (2 x 800cc rotor) RENESIS,
the engine has been refactored completely, making it a 'long stroke' --
and using AL side housings. We'll have more technical info when Mazda
releases the press kit, probably around the 24th of October:

Mazda needs to stop coming up with Elementary school designs.. It's not 2040 yet.


I found a whole crew of Mazda Taiki's.




Seems like their lead designer is Homer Simpson.
