The Mazda Shinari is a concept car produced by the Japanese car manufacturer Mazda, presented at the LA Auto Show in 2010.[1]
It comes in the form of a four-door coupé and its name which indicates the momentum or the start of the movement for a person or an animal,[2] thus its slender design, resulting from a collaboration between Japanese, American and European offices is signed by Yong Wook Cho, it was the first concept car to adopt the "Kodo" style[3] "the soul of the movement" from Mazda.[4]

The presence of many elements of standard cars such as seat belts or the position of left hand drive led to speculation about the marketing of a model standard for America and Europe such as a new Mazda6.[4]
