We brought to you the world debut of the Mazda 2 Sedan live from the 2014 Thailand International Motor Expo over the weekend; now famed rendering expert Theophilus Chin has offered his take on a coupe version of the B-segmenter.
Of course, you and I know this is not likely to come to fruition, but that doesn't stop Theo from attempting to translate the Kodo design language - widely thought to work better on bigger cars - to a short two-door shape. Nothing like a challenge!
The swoopy swage lines provide a nice slimming effect here, as well as add a bit of visual brawn. The subtle front splitter/side skirt pairing and 17-inch eight-spokers are borrowed from the MX-5.
Round the back, Theo has imagined a much neater rump by moving the number plate recess to the bumper, and the badges below the rear lamps, so the boot spoiler no longer has to 'cocoon' the Mazda logo the way it does on the sedan. Nice? Or how does a Mazda 2 MPS Coupe sound?
