Mazda’s concept coupe, the Iconic SP, captures attention with its contrasting stitching and striking Viola Red paint. As part of Mazda’s commitment to “cherish the color red,” this vivid shade adds depth to the car’s design, accentuating its shape and creating a visually stunning effect.
It remains uncertain whether the Iconic SP will make it to production. Designed with sporty driving in mind, Mazda has focused on achieving a perfect 50:50 weight distribution and a low center of gravity. However, the automaker has also considered the car’s versatility beyond the typical backroad experience. For instance, the drivetrain could serve as a mobile generator during home outages or power a campsite.
Chris Davies/SlashGearWhile it remains unclear whether the Iconic SP is the blueprint for the new generation of the Miata or another production sports car, one thing is certain: the transition to electrification doesn’t have to be limited to a single model with a large battery powering electric motors. There are various ways to create alluring and environmentally friendly performance vehicles.
