Didn't Mazda say they were shelving rotary development for the forseeable future when they finished with the RX-8? Between emissions regs, the inevitability of rotor tip wear meaning a short engine lifespan compared to a piston engine and the terrible MPG, they have a mountain to climb to make an engine that can stand shoulder to shoulder with modern piston engines.
The silhouette in the picture looks nice, I wouldn't be surprised if it come to market with a 2.0L 4 cylinder turbo though.

Those are an issue if you use the rotary to drive the wheels directly. As a hybrid they are very efficient. Mazda have lots of patents on this recently.The silhouette in the picture looks nice, I wouldn't be surprised if it come to market with a 2.0L 4 cylinder turbo though.

Looks great. Hope they make it.
Also hope it depreciates like the 8
the RX8 depreciated because the novelty engine didn't last long.Also hope it depreciates like the 8
If the new one depreciates quickly, it'll be because " BAD POINTS - Smokes a bit on start up, otherwise a good motor" appearing in the adverts!

If it does then no wonder they've turned the lights out. ETA: although I don't know if that render came from Mazda...
