1993 Mazda HR-X 2

In the Mazda HR-X 2, the designers sought a new (somewhat alarming) way of expressing Japanese culture in the automobile. The HR-X 2 is an evolution of the HR-X with a hydrogen rotary-engined prototype exhibited at the 1991 Tokyo Motorshow.

The entire body was recyclable. The first bagless vacuum cleaner invented by James Dyson, the Dyson G-Force won the International Design Fair prize in Japan. The Japanese were so im­pressed by the pink and lavender machine, it became a status symbol in homes and sold for $2,000 each.
