Autoexe tuned Mazda6 (Atenza)

August 1st 2008 00:15
Autoexe Mazda6


Specialist Mazda aftermarket tuner, Autoexe, has given the new Mazda6 - Atenza in Japan - a makeover complete with an aerodynamic bodykit and upgraded handling via a raft of suspension components such as lowered springs, adjustable stabliser link, tower brace set, strut tower bar, and many more.

The bodykit features a new front bumper incorporating a large air intake and a dynamic character line that extends from the front fender. The rear also features a new bumper which houses a set of quad exhaust tips around the under spoiler while a set of 18-inch 5-spoke wheels round off the cosmetic changes.

The biggest changes occur to the chassis which has been tuned to deliver even sharper handling response and firmer grip via an upper-lower two level brace kit that evolves body strength and sturdiness by adding more volume to the monocoque body structure and the sports tunable suspension.

Intake, exhaust, and brake upgrades are also available with nearly all the aforementioned upgrades adaptable for all Mazda6/Atenza body types, including 5-door sport , Sport wagon, and Sedan.

Mazda Kazamai concept


Japanese car maker Mazda has released the first images of the Kazamai compact crossover concept vehicle ahead of its international debut at the Moscow International Automobile Salon next month.

Meaning "swirling crosswinds" in Japanese, the Kazamai strikes a mean balance between dynamic, environmental and safety performance in a stylish and compact crossover based on Mazda's long-term vision for technology development. The latest in the series of Nagare-styled concepts features crosswinds inspired design cues on the door panels and bonnet, a bold five-point grille, muscular front guards, a sleek roof line incorporating a panoramic glass roof, and a set of 7-spoke 22-inch wheels with a swirling design.

Under the sheetmetal, the Kazamai is powered by a next-generation direct injection engine and a newly developed transmission which sends power down to all four wheels. Combined with the vehicle's lightweight construction, this delivers great driving dynamics along with frugal fuel consumption and greatly reduced CO2 emissions.


The Official Mazda Press Release:

Mazda Kazamai Concept to Premiere at Moscow International Automobile Salon 2008

HIROSHIMA, Japan-Mazda will unveil a sporty, compact crossover concept vehicle, Mazda Kazamai, at the Moscow International Automobile Salon (MIAS) on August 26. Kazamai, which means "swirling crosswinds" in Japanese, expresses the powerful yet nimble image of a stylish and compact crossover. The concept is based on Mazda's long-term vision for technology development, Sustainable Zoom-Zoom, which aims to provide a unique balance between sporty driving fun and superior environmental and safety performance. Kazamai will be joined at MIAS by the Russian debut of Mazda's CX-9 SUV, which was crowned 2008 North American Truck of the Year in February.

The Kazamai concept further evolves Mazda's 'Nagare' design language by fusing Nagare's 'flow' design cues with aerodynamic proportions. The design features panel lines inspired by crosswinds in nature which evoke visual lightness. Its bold five-point grille, accentuated front wheel arches and sleek roof line, combined with large 22-inch wheels, lend it high emotional appeal.

Sporty to look at, Kazamai is meant to be spirited and fun to drive, with compact dimensions. Kazamai's four-wheel drive powertrain will consist of a next-generation direct injection engine and a newly developed transmission. It is also aerodynamic, with an evolved lightweight body structure and enhanced the vehicle safety attributes. Were it to be built, Mazda's latest show car would deliver exciting driving dynamics, frugal fuel consumption and greatly reduced CO2 emissions.

The Mazda Kazamai promises to be another ground-breaking show car from Mazda Design, winner of this year's Grand Prix du Design in Paris. Created especially for the Moscow International Automobile Salon, it gives a good indication of where Mazda is going with a possible future compact crossover. And in Russia's growing automotive market, compact SUVs are the second-largest segment, representing about 13 percent of all new car sales.

Complete information will be made available immediately after Mazda's press conference at 10:15 a.m. local time, on August 26 at the Mazda stand.
