2007 Mazda RYUGA Concept
Mazda has released its Ryuga concept to demonstrate the company’s new design direction. The concept’s name is Japanese for “gracious flow” expanding on the release of the Nagare concept, “flow” in Japanese, at the LA Auto Show.
The new concept is an exploratory design study according to Laurens van den Acker, design division general manager for Mazda Motor Corporation. Acker went on to explain that the Ryuga is “[…] more realistic than Nagare and therefore more useful in gauging reactions from those who see it.”
“Ryuga adds definition by incorporating a working interior, chassis and propulsion detail that were purposely absent from Nagare,” stated Laurens van den Acker during the concept’s introduction.
