Mazda have persisted with the rotary engine despite the path being a lone furrow. And it would appear they’re not about to give up on the Wankel lump, but they may be about to give up on its host, the Mazda RX-8.
The Mazda RX-9 has been rumoured for some time, and dropping the RX-8 and replacing it with the RX-7 and RX-9 does, in our opinion, make far more sense. A £20,000 RX-7 with 250bhp and a new range-topping RX-9 with 350bhp and a price tag around £35,000 – together with the evergreen Mazda MX-5 – would give Mazda a strong sports car range.
