RX 7 is coming back!

RX-8 replacement will revive legendary name and use next-generation rotary engine




It's the Mazda that’sguaranteed to send rivals into a spin! These illustrations are the bestyet of the forthcoming RX-7– an all-new two-seater sports car, completewith a turbocharged rotary engine.

Although this model will be anatural successor to the RX-8, the logical RX-9 badge is to be shunnedin favour of RX-7 – evoking memories of the rear-wheel-drive Mazdaproduced in various forms between 1978 and 2002.

Reports fromJapan have revealed that new design chief Ikua Maeda has alreadysketched plans for the next RX-7, and is said to be pushing thethree-door model to the firm’s board of directors. Mazda has chosen touse the light and compact Renesis 16X Wankel engine – the same unit asfitted to 2007’s Taiki concept car.

With an equivalentcapacity of 1.6 litres to improve torque, and the addition of aturbocharger to boost power beyond 300bhp, the RX-7 will be much moresporty than the RX-8.

By sticking with a rotary engine, Mazdawill ensure the model can be adapted to run on hydrogen in future.Plus, it would retain the RX-8’s appeal as the only rotary-engined carin production.

Rumours that an RX-7 concept could debut atOctober’s Tokyo Motor Show came to nothing; it may not appear untilnext year’s event. A production model would then follow early in 2011.

God I hope not. That thing is fucking ugly as shit and doesn't deserve to have the rx7 title on it.

Interesting. Better not look anything like that concept drawing, though. Talk about hideous...

Funny you say that the FC3S RX7 rear glass was the largest one ever built for a Japanese vehicle.

I think we can all agree the rear looks like a BMW. Front is more like Acura grill, Mazda 6 lights and lower grill and general shape is Sky or Solstice-esque.

DO NOT WANT!!!

I'd rather take an FD please...also RX-7 and GT-R are historically considered as rivals, at least in Japan.

Can that thing match up with GT-R's performance? I doubt it.

I like it.

Looks like it takes styling cues from the SA22 rear and FD3S front.
