The automaker has been updating the engine design, first seen in the 1967 Mazda Cosmo Sport coupe, over the years. Now the new Mazda RX-VISION rotary sports car concept debuts the new and improved Skyactiv-R rotary engine and ends months of speculation on Mazda's on-again, off-again RX-7 successor.
Mazda hasn't revealed full specs on the new Skyactiv-R rotary engine, but the automaker has released a few details about its new RX-VISION rotary sports car concept. Most notable is the RX-VISION's long dash-to-axle ratio hinting at its front-engine, rear-drive configuration. The concept is said to "represent a vision of the future that harbors the soul of the Mazda brand." The FR sports car features a low, wide body with short overhangs and a taut cabin. Mazda's modern Kodo design language combines with classic proportions to "maintain a sense of lineage" to the automaker's past sports cars. The RX-VISION concept has simple flowing lines devoid of superfluous design elements.
