Mazda plans to bring rotary engine to its new sports car concept

Mazda still plans to use rotary engines and they’re planning on putting in the new concept sports car they’re showing at the ongoing Tokyo Motor show. The new rotary engine is called the SkyActiv-R. It’s a challenge for the brand to have the rotary engine meet modern economy standards. But they seem to be working on that and plan to bring it to a two-seat pure sports car. At the moment, it’s called the RX-Vision. Mazda won’t say when this would come into production. But according to the company’s CEO Masamichi Kogai, he hopes the rotary-powered car won’t be a dream for too long.
