This is the new Mazda CX-5, even sexier and even redder. Mazda presented the second generation of its CX-5 SUV, which is its best-selling model on the old continent, at the Los Angeles Auto Show. It is now slightly shorter and even friendlier to the driver and other passengers.

Mazda RX-VISION is Mazda's vision of the future, which will probably grow into a serial model in a few years. It is the next generation of sportsman, which will be driven by a rotary engine.

One of these is certainly the engine, and the announcement of a new generation of the brand's vehicles with the RX designation also stirs the imagination.
In Goodwood, where the Festival of Speed was recently held (2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed), Mazda launched its racing cars into the air!

It is a 120-ton installation dedicated to Mazda's racing heritage, and the sculpture is topped off by the 787B and LM55 Vision Gran Turismo models.
