Say Hello To The Fabulously Minimalist Mazda Vision Coupe Concept
Mazda’s future performance car plans have stepped up a notch, with the Japanese firm revealing the new ‘Vision Coupe’ concept at the Toyko Motor Show.
It follows up the RX Vision concept revealed at the last Tokyo show in 2015, but this time, it’s sprouted an extra pair of doors. Oh, and there’s no hints of rotary power on this occasion. Boo.
The striking yet minimalist exterior follows Mazda’s ‘Kodo - Soul of Motion’ design language, with what the firm calls a ‘“one-motion” form that conveys a sense of speed.” All in all, it’s pretty damn stunning.
The inside’s equally easy on the eye, with a disarmingly pared back cabin finished off nicely with an instrument binnacle that combines physical features with digital displays. Mazda hasn’t just lazily slapped a big screen in there - as is fast becoming the norm - and it’s paid off.
The meaning of this concept is open to good old fashioned speculation, but so far as we can see, this signals that any future, larger sports car from the brand is likely to be a much more luxurious affair, rather than a braap-fest RX-7 successor. Sorry…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

At least they didnt go the way of Mitsubishi and make it a SUV…
But its too minimalist for me, and those tiny taillights are hilarious
Ok, i was one of the first to report it on the news community and it barely gets votes. But when the staff posts, everyone likes this. 😒
Still drive dis tho.
Cos they are professional journalists and their posts are seen by everyone and not just followers or those who specifically look into the news community
Mazda. Thank you. You actually are doing something right, other than some certain manufacturers. Not to point any fingers but… Mitsubishi; take notes please. You’ll learn something.
Mitsubishi will never learn.
Amen
We need to move back towards minimalistic interiors. Everything is way to busy now a days
what i dont like:
-looks too much like a GT, make it shorter and more sport-oriented like the RX-7
-lights are too thin and the grill too big, a trend that takes away some of Madza’s uniqueness (and gives it a face that looks like this IO instead of this :)
what i like
new Mazda sportscar with more performance
rear end kinda looks like the RX-7’s
not a crossover
it’s a Cosmo successor, think of it that way.
Stole words right out of my mouth!
No that is a good looking car inside and out
It looks absolutly beautiful but sadly it needs somthing rotating under the bonnet with 2 rotors and i would leap into debt to buy one
I would problably make the taillights a bit bigger but overall, damn does this thing look nice
So… the return of the Cosmo? :D
I love it
