— Japan-debut of Mazda KOERU and racing-spec Mazda Roadsters among
fourteen models on display –
HIROSHIMA, Japan, Sept. 29, 2015 /CNW/ – Mazda Motor Corporation will
hold the world premiere of a new sports car concept model at the 2015
Tokyo Motor Show, which runs from October 30 through November 8.*1 A total of 14 models will be on display at the Mazda stand, including
crossover concept Mazda KOERU making its first appearance in Japan, two
racing-spec Mazda Roadsters (known as Mazda MX-5 outside Japan) and the
Cosmo Sport (110S outside Japan), first introduced in 1967.
The design of the sports car concept to be unveiled in Tokyo is modern
yet maintains a sense of lineage and authenticity, appearing almost to
condense Mazda’s entire history of sports car development into a single
model.
In line with the company’s theme for the Tokyo Motor Show this year,
“Accelerate toward our dreams,” Mazda will make an appeal for the
brand’s unique approach to driving pleasure. In addition to the sports
car concept, Mazda KOERU will be on display along with new-generation
models featuring SKYACTIV Technologies and KODO—Soul of Motion design.
A motorsports exhibit featuring racing-spec Roadsters and the Cosmo
Sport will complement a heritage display showing Mazda’s history of
convention-defying engineering.
