Special Exhibition: Concept Car “MX-03”
The Mazda MX-03 is a concept car unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show and Tokyo Motor Show in 1985.
Designed around the theme of a high-performance 4-seat sports coupe for the 1990s, it was built as an experimental vehicle to give form to Mazda’s latest technologies of the time and to study their potential. Some of the technologies developed through the MX-03 were later incorporated into the Eunos Cosmo, launched in 1990.
