Mazda Kusabi
Talking to Yoichi Sato, Chief Designer Mazda Advanced Design Studio, the concept for the Kusabi became clear. Based on the platform of the small Mazda 2 (Demio in Japan) the car is an everyday sports sub-compact&Mac226;, a 2+2 seater, sporty town car with a particularly innovative rear tailgate system. This tailgate opens like a conventional hatchback by pivoting at the rearmost edge of the roof, or by opening from either side (in a similar way to gull wing doors) and pivoting through its centre running front to back. An innovative swivelling seat back enables easy access to the rear seats and the 1.6 litre litre diesel engine powers this urban concept. http://www.rx8club.com/attachment.php?postid=116972
