Nagare is certainly not a new concept – it was made public in late December 2006 at the LA Auto Show. It definitely one of their most beautiful models though.

Its name is Japense for “flow” and the Nagare’s design is supposed to capture the “spirit of motion”. It’s an age-old design mantra and holy grail for auto artists – make a car look like it’s going.

Nagare was designed by Laurens van den Acker, Mazda’s global design director, and his advanced design studio team in Irvine, California.

Mazda did not provide any official information about its engine and specs. It’s believed to be powered by a hydrogen fueled rotary engine.

The Los Angeles Auto Show will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center starting November 16 2007, until the 25th. You can see the exhibitor list and the floor plans here.

A few very interesting concepts will be officially launched at this show, proof that the LA Auto Show is indeed one of the most important shows out there.

Here are some of the most interesting concept cars displayed at the show. Is it me or many of the concepts this year are orange? Nope, it’s definitely not me. I wonder if the designers gathered and decided “hey, let’s all make some orange cars”. Gotta love the VW’s tires though.
