Mazda RX-Vision (Sports Car Concept) Unveiled At Tokyo Motor Show

Mazda unveiled the Mazda RX-Vision at the Tokyo Motor Show*. A next-generation SKYACTIV-R rotary engine will power this sports car concept. A rotary engine is an unconventional technology; however, conveys a strong message of the carmaker's challenger spirit. The RX-Vision is a front-engine, rear-wheel drive model and represents Mazda's "vision" of the future.

Rotary engines are unique—the engine—generates power through the rotational motion of triangular rotors (unlike the reciprocating pistons in conventional automotive engines). The first rotary engine powered car by Mazda—the Cosmo Sport 110S—was rolled out in 1967, and managed to sell 800,000 units between 1978 and 2002.
