Mazda Takeri Sedan

This year's edition of the Tokyo Motor Show in December is gearing up to be one of the most exciting automotive events of the year as we're anticipating many important debuts including the Toyota FT-86 and Subaru BRZ twins, the new Honda CR-V and the reason why we're writing this article, the Mazda Takeri concept.

Even though Mazda's initial press release didn't disclose many details, the Takeri is believed to be a thinly disguised concept of the next generation of the Mazda6 sedan in the same way that the Minagi study previewed the CX-5 that was revealed in Frankfurt this September.

The Takeri introduces a far more expressive design than the current Mazda6 with its styling strongly inspired by the swoopy Shinari sports sedan study.

In the video that follows below, you can get a look at the Takeri while its spinning around during a photo session for a Japanese magazine.

It is often called the Mecca of the tuning world and with good reason as the annual Specialty Equipment Market Association show plays host not to hundreds but literally thousands of modified production, project and concepts cars and trucks and an even vastly larger number of aftermarket products.

This year's edition of the tuning bonanza in Las Vegas came to an end on Friday and now that we're done covering the most important debuts, it's time for a photo tribute to the cars that made it to the show.

If you follow the jump, you can find the first part that includes more than 270 high-resolution photos. Stay tuned for the second installment sometime tomorrow.
