The Mazda Ryuga ( マツダ?流雅 , Matsuda Ry?ga ) is a concept car introduced by Mazda and partner Ford at the 2007 North American International Auto Show in Detroit , Michigan . The car, along with the Mazda Nagare which was introduced at the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show , is an exploratory design study intended to illustrate future styling directions for future Mazda passenger vehicles. The Ryuga moniker (pronounced "ree-yoo-ga") is Japanese for "gracious flow".

Exterior [ edit ]

The large 21" wheels are placed at the far corners for a stable, balanced stance. The body features two gull-wing doors, and is significantly shorter and lower than the four-passenger Mazda RX-8 sports car.

Interior [ edit ]

The Ryuga accommodates four passengers in typical 2+2 seating, with front bucket seats and a lounge-like rear passenger area. A "floating" center cluster with elongated pods includes a multi-function touch panel for controls and displays. A set of charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras are installed for monitoring the rearward view and blind-spot. The steering wheel is an open top style, which utilizes steer-by-wire technology.

Performance [ edit ]

The Ryuga is powered with an E85 / gasoline flex fuel engine.
