The Template:Nihongo4 was 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, was 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
The large 21" wheels were placed at the far corners for a stable, balanced stance. The body featured two gull-wing doors, and was significantly shorter and lower than the four-passenger Mazda RX-8 sports car.

The Ryuga accommodated 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 included a multi-function touch panel for controls and displays. A set of charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras were installed for monitoring the rearward view and blind-spot. The steering wheel was an open top style, which utilized steer-by-wire technology.
Performance
The Ryuga was powered with an E85 / gasoline flex fuel engine.
