When Mazda unveiled their new ’Kodo’ design language, it marked a changing of the guard as far as the company’s new design philosophy was concerned. The first two examples of this new chapter in Mazda design came in the form of the Shinari and Minagi concepts. And now, a third model is expected to join the fold with its debut scheduled for the Tokyo Auto Show in November 2011. The third Kodo-influenced concept is called the Takeri and it’s being touted as the eventual successor and next-generation model of the Mazda6. The Takeri Concept successfully follows in the steps of both the Shinari and Minagi concepts in that it carries the same "expression of motion that focuses on the strength, beauty and tension found in the instantaneous movement seen in animals" - or as how Mazda describes its new Kodo-Soul of Motion design language. Full details surrounding the Takeri Concept have yet to be revealed, although it appears that it will carry Mazda’s new SKYACTIV technology that is geared towards producing a range of hybrid versions for the next-generation Mazda6. Other rumored elements of the Takeri Concept include a high tensile, lightweight steel chassis, regenerative brakes, and start-stop engine technology More details of the Takeri Concept are expected to be revealed at the Tokyo Auto Show in a little over a month’s time. For now, enjoy the photos of the concept that Mazda has just released. UPDATE 02/13/2012: Mazda has announced that the new Takeri Concept will be making its European debut at the Geneva Motor Show. With that, they’ve released a series of 40 new high res images. Enjoy! .

 I can say that, I fall in love with this concept of Mazda! Well, I must say that it is already looking great on its sleek body paint and they are right that it had a futuristic touch. I just only hope that they have already boosted the engine of this one.
 I just noticed that the interior of this one, is having a futuristic touch which adds more appeal on this concept. However, I hoped that this time they can surely boost the engine of it.
 Yeah! I’ve absolutely seen the expression that they were trying to portray for this one. The strength and the beauty were already very striking on this one and its sleek body paint, only adds more appeal on this Kodo.
 As what I’ve expected on a Mazda car, I can say that this new concept of them, really satisfied me a lot, but I hope that this time they can surely boost the engine of it. Anyway, I will absolutely wait for this.
