What is the Most Beautiful Concept Vehicle of the Year?

The RX-Vision concept from Mazda has gained the Most Beautiful Concept Car of the Year award. This happened at the thirty-first Festival Automobile International.

We remind you that the model was introduced at the Motor Show held in Tokyo in 2015. It previews the company’s rotary revival along with the RX nameplate. The vehicle benefits from smooth-flowing proportions paying tribute to the rich heritage the Japanese automaker’s front-engine, rear-wheel drive sports vehicles.

So, this is the latest award for the brand’s global design division. It ended up with 3 awards last September at the Automotive Brand Contest. There was the famous Team of the Year award among them.

The RX-Vision overcame 3 outstanding concepts which were nominated for the award. They were the Porsche Mission E, Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 and Peugeot Fractal.

The concept under consideration will be possible to see at the Festival Automobile International’s concept vehicle exhibition. It is held in Paris till January 31.
