The height of the hood is designed for a certain engine type.
“If you remember the Ferrari 275 GTB, Ferrari 330, or all of these Italian cars from the 50s, 60s and 70s – they were all very clear and impressive,” – said the chief designer of Mazda’s Kevin rice.
“This was the philosophy of Italian design. The modern world is more busy, but we respect the old values of purity and beauty. They were needed then, and if one does not adhere to them more, we would like them back”.
Mazda RX Vision – a step in this direction. She participated in the parade of concepts, which was held last weekend at Concorso d’eleganza Villa d’este, where many stood with his mouth open.
“The reception of the RX Vision, we shook,” Kevin says. – We at Mazda we love this car, but to see the reaction of these car killers, to see how they are impressed… we were a little bit shocked. In a good way”.
Still, we are primarily interested in, when Mazda will do the honourable thing and build Vision RX? “We’d like that very much,” smiles Kevin. “At such events (competition of elegance Villa d’este), you find yourself next to an Aston Martin, Ferrari and other classic. We had the feeling that we got here by accident, we’re guests. But we all said that it doesn’t matter, because the RX is fine. Said: don’t worry about it, just go and build it”.
