Mazda has said its rotary engine could be used as a range-extender in a future autonomous Toyota EV.

Mazda has said it won’t bring a rotary sports car like the RX Vision to market anytime soon, as it doesn’t have the proper resources to do so. 

Mazda has confirmed it will bring a new rotary-powered concept car to the upcoming 2017 Tokyo Motor Show. 

Mazda continues to officially remain quiet on the future of the rotary, but today is all about the engine’s past.

It appears Mazda has no plans of building a sports car bigger than the current MX-5 Miata.

The Mazda RX-Vision concept swept the automotive world by storm last year and was even named the Most Beautiful Concept Car of the Year.

Mazda’s RX-7 is one of the most revered Japanese sports cars ever built, but do they still hold sway with car enthusiasts after they’ve been transformed into a limousine? Apparently, yes.

Mazda is determined to see the “R” in “RX” live up to its name.

Roundabout, traffic circle, rotary, gyratory, whatever you call these curving intersections they can be quite confusing to drivers that have never experienced one before. With yield signs, bike lanes and pedestrian crossings there’s a lot going on in a small area and plenty of opportunity to screw things up. But here are a few helpful hints on how to navigate these labyrinthine road junctions.

Rumor has it that Mazda is preparing to resurrect its RX-7 nameplate and it will be powered by a next-generation rotary engine.

The history of the automobile has been dominated by vehicles equipped with piston-firing engines.

The 1990s was a great time for Japanese sports cars. Pretty much every manufacturer was building a world class performance machine including Mazda, with the third generation RX-7. But that was twenty years ago and what may have been great then, might not be any good today. So, we have gotten our hands on a pristine, low mileage 1993 Mazda RX-7 to see if it was all hype, or the real deal.

The 1990s is a decade known for things like flannel shirts, grunge music, Barney the purple dinosaur and Napster. But for those who live and breathe high octane fuel, the ‘90s was also a great time for performance vehicles. With the world economy in fine shape, manufacturers everywhere were producing some impressive machinery. This is the decade that gave birth to the Dodge Viper, McLaren F1 and Lamborghini Diablo.
