I can’t say that I’m a Mazda fan, but I think I’m about to change my mind, as I saw the Nagare concept, a car developed under the direction of Mazda’s new global design director, Laurens van den Acker.

The goal was to achieve a new means of registering motion while moving or standing still.

I think they managed to capture that easily, as Nagare is a combination of sport car and efficient urban cruiser. Nagare achieves that with a very aerodynamic shape, extra wide wheelbase and a powerful, yet efficient hydrogen rotary engine.

Mazda Nagare, definitely you'll find it in a parking lot

Inside there are four seats. Access to them is made trough two extra long doors which hinge forward and up, like the wings of a butterfly. Drivers seat is central mounted, just like in a Formula 1 car. The rear compartment is build like a wrap-around lounge, offering accommodations for three passengers. There’s no word of when or if Nagare will every be produced, but I hope that it does. You can see from the picture why.

I really like what they did with the rear lights

  1. I don’t really like Mazda actually… But this model gain my interest…this car looks sharp, sporty and classy at the same time…In addition, this car is using ford’s engine, the rotary engine that has great power and prolong the life span of the Mazda fuel injector. Anyway some people doubt that it will be so blasé. While parent company Ford’s European arm continues to talk in a loud voice about its Kinetic Design philosophy and expressing ‘energy in motion’ in this car…

  2. Ugliest car i’ve seen in a while, The Alienesk design reminds me of concept crap people came up with in the 50′s when they thought about the “future”.

    It looks like the result of a one night stand with the ship from the movie “The Flight of The Navigator” with a piece of dog turd.

  3. Ugliest flipping car I’ve ever seen.

  4. Wow! I like it.

    I think it looks cool!

  5. I think that’s the ugliest car ever made in the car industry.

  6. I don’t think that its a ugly model, just very futuristic concept :) , actually i would like to have such wheels of mars :)
