The Mazda TAKERI concept—inspired by Mazda's Shinari concept before it—made its official North American debut at the 2012 New York International Auto Show today, accompanied by a spec sheet of SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGIES meant to increase overall vehicle performance and hint toward the future of Mazda:

twin-turbo SKYACTIV®-D Diesel engine
SKYACTIV® Body
SKYACTIV®-DRIVE transmission
i-STOP stop/start system
i-ELOOP capacitor-based regenerative braking system
KODO design theme

Also announced is the fully SKYACTIV® 2014 Mazda6, which will feature design elements strongly influenced by the TAKERI concept, and make its global debut later this year.
