Mazda Yuuga Coupe designed by student

Posted under Auto, Mazda on Tuesday, 14 December 2010 by theautoabc

The jury is largely in on Mazda’s new happy Corporate face and well, most folks don’t like it. But what if Mazda designed a car featuring its Nagare design language minus the smiley face? That’s exactly what one student designer named Imran Ali did with the Yuuga Coupe. Presented at the 2009 Degree Show at the National Waterfront Museum in Swansea, UK, we have to say that the Yugga Coupe is quite the looker. No known plans exist for production.

Next-Gen Mazda MX-5

Posted under Auto, Mazda on Saturday, 28 November 2009 by theautoabc

The launch of the next-generation Mazda MX-5 has reportedly been pushed back as far as late 2011 because of a number of major changes in store for the car. Not only is Mazda developing a new lightweight platform and fuel-efficient powertrains, but a new coupe version is also expected to join the ranks.

The goal for Mazda will be to make the car’s styling and proportions closer to that of the original 1989 model. However, interior space and safety will be better than the current car due to improved engineering and clever packaging. Finally, both a folding hard-top roof and a conventional fabric soft-top are expected, as well as a possible coupe.

In terms of powertrains, it would come with a range of light and compact 1.4 and 1.6-liter engines with direct-injection and turbocharging technologies. The source also revealed that the car could pick up an electronic power steering system to help conserve more fuel.

A dual-clutch transmission as well as a revised suspension set-up that does away with the bulky double wishbone front end on today’s car. To save additional weight, Mazda may adopt new steel construction methods that enable less metal to be used in its cars’ bodies.
