Mazda Discovers Season 4 Episode 2 | ShortsCars

In this episode of Mazda Discovers, filmmaker Jacob travels to Florence, Italy, to explore the world of terracotta craftsmanship, one of the oldest and most iconic Italian art forms. Terracotta begins with the simplest natural materials: earth, water, and fire. In Florence’s artisan workshops, these elements are shaped by hand, dried slowly, and fired in traditional kilns to create objects that can last for centuries.

Mazda sees a deep connection between this ancient craft and its own design philosophy. The Mazda CX-80, shown in Artisan Red, embodies Mazda’s approach to form, light, and material. Just as terracotta artisans sculpt clay with intention and precision, Mazda’s Takumi craftspeople shape every contour of the CX-80 through a blend of digital design and hand-modelled clay. Light becomes a tool, guiding the form and creating surfaces that feel alive in motion.

Filmed on the roads surrounding Florence and Tuscany, the CX-80 shows its character: spacious, composed, and built for meaningful journeys with family. It is a car designed around human experience, combining Japanese craftsmanship, European road presence, and everyday practicality.

Mazda Discovers celebrates global craft and the creators preserving heritage through skill and passion. This episode highlights how Italian terracotta, with its focus on patience, durability, and transformation, aligns with Mazda’s belief that true design is shaped by human hands.Official video of Mazda Motor Europe.
