Mazda Senku Concept

[SoCalCTS]

The 4-seater rotary sports car is the answer to the demands for a self-assured, advanced sports vehicle. And Mazda Senku offers a radical new direction in this genre. To meet and surpass the challenges of increasing environmental and safety requirements, as well as diversification of customer demands, Mazda continues to offer unrivalled driving dynamics while achieving harmony with changes in society.




Exterior
Next-generation aesthetics values
The overarching design aesthetic is “sharpness & mellowness”. These contradictory factors are cleverly integrated to create a next-generation design standard,featuring ultra-long wheelbase,minimal overhangs,unique floating appearance supported by large wheels and tires,and a smoothly dignified shape pared of all ornamentation. These elements come together in a revolutionary coupe form that is both dynamic and supremely elegant. The cabin presents an open,spacious feeling to create a prestigious personal space designed to give priority to the people seated in the front. And interior design achieves a pleasing harmony of quality and sportiness through the vivid contrast of jet-black and red key colors,metallic cockpit accents,and seats and trim executed in supple, high-quality leather by Mazda's skilled craftsmen.




Interior
Full-support information technology
Externally mounted cameras capture images from around Senku for display on three panels mounted above the dashboard.They not only give at-a-glance monitoring of the vehicle's immediate environment but also provide support for nighttime forward vision(Night Drive Aid function) and warn of the approach of vehicles from behind. In addition, a large display panel mounted at the bottom of the instrument panel shows the setup and operating status of the navigation, audio and air conditioning systems. This wide range of advanced IT facilities gives full information for driver support at all times, while switches on the steering wheel and a touch screen inside the steering wheel allow easy operation without changing posture to reduce driver fatigue.

Sophisticated seat arrangement
Large flying wing electrically powered sliding doors combined with high front-seat hip points allow smooth entry and exit,even to the rear seat.Coversion to the full luggage mode is easily achieved by simply folding the rear seatbacks down towards the front of the vehicle, or to the 2+2 seating mode by folding a board away. The newly conceived rear-gate arrangement consists of two powered gates which can be opened separately or together to match the size of luggage to be loaded.
