2001: The Mazda MC Sports Tourer concept is an experiment in styling and layout on the station wagon cum people mover themes.
Power comes from a hybrid engine - a 2-litre petrol engine joined to an electric motor of 40kW, 108Nm. The electric motor drives the rear wheels.
not clear if petrol motor drives front only or all 4 -->The rear side doors are rear hinged, and there is no B-pillar, as in the RX-EVOLV sports car. The rear roof retracts forwards for open top motoring or to allow easy access to the rear load area and to allow tall loads to be carried.
This show car looks unusually practical for the genre, and if it can be made strong enough, and to a price, it could well be a shape of motoring to come.
