As mentioned before, it is indeed a two seater rotary with a a new rotary engine called Sky-Active R. Grrrrrrr... Does the engine exist already though?? Not too sure, it might still be a far concept. They have not opened the hood of the car.
The car and its desginer, Ikuo Maeda, also responsible for the Rx-8...

I sincerely hope the production version has more styling here. I fell asleep halfway down the side.

I just realized after looking at the images on the FP, that there is not a single fucking body panel line on this entire hood and front fascia. I hope that isn’t a concept with a running engine, because I’d feel really bad for any mechanics that had to work on this concept.

Good grief, why? I’m so glad the designer figured out when to put the pen down and create something elegant and perfectly restrained.

its a big hood. goes down the the lower edge of the lights. maybe a front tilt?.

Yeah sorry about that. Edited. It’s just that today’s styling trends tend, for my tastes, toward overstyling. Too many curves, vents, fins, creases, etc.
It drives me crazy.

The automotive world clearly needs more vents and random side scoops. Good call.

You know, it’s my fault. I totally forgot Oppo becomes a slaughterhouse the first two days a new car is revealed.

Front tilt bringing the lights with it...would make changing bulbs sweet.

Looks a lot more F Type than it did in the teasers.
I’m disappointed it’s not getting a SkyActiv I6.

I hope it sells well if Mazda actually makes it. This could be the last production Wankel! Rotary fuel economy/reliability issues won’t sit well with the average consumer so that’s worrisome if you’re Mazda. This needs to be the most reliable/efficient rotary they’ve ever produced.

The RX-8 has too many curves, bulges, and creases. I'm glad this same designer evolved his style and was able to create this.
