Mazda will be showcasing the RX-Vision Concept at the Tokyo Motor Show this week!

According to Mazda, the RX-Vision Rotary Sports Car Concept represents a ‘vision of the future’ as the company continues its research and development in the evolution of the rotary engine. The RX-Vision introduces the next generation SKYACTIV-R rotary engine and although it’s only a concept, it hints at the possible future of Mazda’s RX sports car family.

RX-Vision Design Features

The RX-Vision Concept adopts a front-engine, rear wheel drive sports car layout featuring Mazda’s KODO design philosophy, drawing on Mazda’s history in sports car design.

The RX-Vision stands 4389mm long, 1925mm wide and 1160mm tall with a wheelbase of 2700mm. Compared to Mazda’s previous rotary powered RX-8, the RX-Vision is shorter, wider and lower and rides on 20-inch black alloy wheels.

For the interior, handcrafted detailing and machined finishes are complemented with leather trim. The RX-Vision Concept is also kitted out with a three-spoke steering wheel and a bespoke instrument cluster.

Mazda hasn’t revealed much regarding the SKYACTIV-R rotary engine but the company did say that the engine “represents Mazda’s next significant step towards achieving a breakthrough in addressing three key rotary engine issues – fuel economy, emissions performance and reliability.”

The Mazda RX-Vision Concept will make its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show which runs from 29 November to 8 November 2015.
