The Amati 1000 was the planned flagship of Amati, the luxury marque that Mazda announced in August 1991 to compete with Acura, Infiniti and Lexus. It was never shown to the public and no specifications were ever published, though an Australian magazine printed renderings of it in December 1992, two months after Mazda cancelled the whole Amati brand. Former Mazda executive Bob Hall described it as resembling a 1991 Mazda 929, with fatter pillars and a long, flat hood, and said it was to be powered by a V12 made by joining two of Mazda's K V6 engines. Running prototypes were built, with about 280 bhp. Mazda lacked the funds to put the car into production, so it was shelved, and the second generation Mazda Sentia of 1995 is believed to reuse its body.
