Rumor: Could this be the new RX-7 Mazda is working on?

Images of the upcoming re-imagined RX-7 that Mazda has been quietly working on have finally surfaced in the pages of a Japanese auto magazine and it is one stunning piece of automotive engineering.

The design of the vehicle marks another “Kodo” Soul of Motion, Mazda’s latest design language, to receive the full body treatment joining the 2014 Mazda6, 2014 CX-5, and soon-to-be released 2014 Mazda3.

The article hints at what is in store for the new coupe including an “ultra lightweight” structure, “direct injected 16X based RE with Hydrogen capability” and “razor sharp handling.” It’s been known that the upcoming RX-7 would be 16X based since Nobuhiro Yamamoto, Mazda’s MX-5 program manager, stated that they were working towards that goal.

It’s projected that the launch window for the all-new RX-7 will be in 2017 and be powered by a Wankel rotary engine with 300 horsepower.

We’ll know more about the new Mazda RX-7 in the coming years.

New Mazda dealerships like Don Mealey’s Sport Mazda in Orlando, Florida, started seeing display models of the 2014 Mazda6 roll onto the showroom floor at the end of December. Now that January is here, auto shoppers can finally start seeing retail vehicles with an opportunity to test drive before buying. Dealerships will be receiving the new Mazda6s periodically throughout the month before being more readily available on the lot.

The Mazda Experts at Sport Mazda are already knowledgeable about the newest iteration of the Mazda6 and can help interested car buyers choose between the base model starting at $20,880, the i Sport model starting at $22,495 and the i Touring model starting at $24,495. Shoppers that choose a Mazda6 with a manual transmission can enjoy up to 37 mpg on the highway, while shoppers that choose one with an automatic transmission will be able to squeeze an extra mile in fuel economy giving it 38 mpg on the highway. The Skyactiv-D diesel engine will not be an option at first, and according to Mazda USA, they will be appearing in the latter half of 2013 around the time of the 2014 CX-5 launch.
