As one of the most special classic sports car in Japan, Mazda RX-7 with rotary engine as a power source always occupies a very important position. With the revival movement of the Japanese sports car launched step by step, Mazda is also planning to launch a whole new generation RX-7 sports car.
After RX-7, Mazda also introduces RX-8 which is also equipped with a rotary engine, but has nothing to do with legendary RX-7. With the shutdown of the RX-8, Mazda RX sports car and the rotary engine disappear. Mazda plans to launch RX-7 new generation in 2017.
The dead weight of the RX-7new generation of and Toyota GT86 will be in the same order of magnitude, and the interior will also continue to adopt the driver-centric design philosophy. The rotary engine is the natural choice. However, the 13B rotary engine in fuel consumption, emissions and performance does not meet the needs of the times. Mazda will equip the new generation RX-7 with 16X rotary engine developed since 2007. The new model will use naturally aspirated mode, maximum power expected to exceed 220 kilowatts.
