Mazda's Latest Wild Concept: Hakaze

We’re looking forward to the Geneva Motor Show next month because a lot of the cars debuting there will come to the U.S. within the next year, like the all-new Audi A5 coupe. We’re not as excited about the usually wilder concept cars that European and other foreign auto shows get, like the Hakaze from Mazda.

The company uses the example of kite surfers to highlight the vehicle’s multi-functionality because, you know, everyone can identify with a kite surfer. Basically, any beachgoer or outdoorsman would enjoy the interior, which is designed to protect against sand, dirt and water. There are also LCD screens and an internet connection so you won’t be far from work, even when you’re out playing.

Yes, this is just another design flight of fancy, and we’ve seen plenty of that from Mazda this year.
