Designers Carlos Salaff and Jacques Flynn believe that by the year 2030, specialized online software would be available that will allow users to design vehicles according to their requirements and get them built by the car manufacturer. Mazda has taken notice and created VMazda - a virtual reality website that acts as a design playground for young people, allowing them to experiment, build, and share their automotive dreams in a virtual world at no cost. With the help of a virtual design mentor, Max's design is rapidly manufactured at one of Mazda's sustainable Direct Digital Manufacturing plants. Max pays a low price of $2000 for the physical car, while paying a monthly bill for the energy his electric car uses (similar to cell phone business model).

Mazda Souga is just an example of the infinite possibilities such a manufacturing system will offer. Moreover, you won’t have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for these hi-tech vehicles, as they’ll be made available with a two-year contract, similar to the one we sign when purchasing a new cellphone.

Mazda Souga is a lightweight and minimal sports coupe with experimental shapes, ornate detailing and a dramatically proportioned exterior. Since in the future all digital communication and information devices will be integrated into fashion apparel, the car’s interiors will just feature a steering wheel, a conventional information display and normal controls. After the contract expires, the user can take the vehicle back to the manufacturer and get it remade with the inclusion of new systems and technologies. The car manufacturer will have the ability to recycle parts from the old car, which will further reduce the associated emissions.
