Mazda RX-VISION

‘A vision of the future that Mazda hopes to one day make into reality’. This is what Mazda has to say about its RX-Vision while unveiling it in Tokyo. Reviving the Rotary engines from the dead, this sports concept features a triangular rotor which generates power through the rotational motion. The production for this engine was stopped a long time ago but Mazda claims that they never stopped their R&D in the subject. It seems that they have been successful as the latest generation rotary mills are called SKYACTIV-R and are expected to be employed in Mazda’s future sports cars. Following the RX-7 and RX-8, RX-Vision takes the rotary engine legacy forward. The car has a front engine, rear wheel drive setup and houses the SKYACTIV-R motor.
