Mazda Taiki, the latest concept car form the Japanese producer, follows the path of Mazda�s �flow� design concept (latest example is what�s probably going to be the next Mazda RX-7) with elements of real-world technologies. The Taiki is equipped with a next-generation RENESIS rotary engine under the hood, and the rear-wheel-drive concept is a two-seater.
The Japanese word �Taiki� roughly translates to atmosphere. Mazda used this name to equate the car�s stretched cabin, short overhangs, and glass canopy with the �protective mantle� around Earth.
One of the key differences from previous concept cars is the Taiki�s rear wheels, which seem to stick out a bit, and are covered by a sort-of simulated wheel well. The effect of this is the illusion that the rear wheels are not protected as part of the chassis, but if you look at a picture of the car from behind the wheels look more integrated.
