confident self-expression are becoming more widespread among mature drivers.

new departure in satisfying these desires.

Its overarching design concept is
"sharpness and mellowness,” and these contradictory factors are cleverly
integrated to create a next-generation design standard. The features include
an ultra-long wheelbase, minimal overhangs, a unique “floating” appearance
supported by large tires, a smoothly dignified shape devoid of all
ornamentation, and large "flying wing" electric-powered sliding doors. These
elements come together in a revolutionary coupe form that is both dynamic
and supremely elegant. In the cabin, personal space was designed to give
priority to the people seated in the front seats, and interior trim was
executed in supple, high-quality leather.
Located between the front
and rear axles is the next-generation 13B-DI direct injection gasoline
rotary engine with a hybrid unit.
This direct injection RE
hybrid achieves high power output and lower fuel consumption along with the
ideal 50:50 front/rear weight distribution and a low
center of gravity,
characteristic of Mazda sports cars, providing fun and dynamic driving.
The name “Senku” is a
Japanese term meaning “pioneer”, depicting Mazda’s spirit of pursuing unique
and exciting ventures - such as the rotary engine.
