Future 2013 Mazda RX-9 released by TopSpeed-presented by Maple Shade Mazda: www.msmazda.com

Mazda recently made the decision to halt production of it's Famous, Rotary powered RX8 sports platform vehicle. The goofd news is Mazda has chosen to fill the void in their lineup with a new model: the Mazda RX-9.


Built on the MX-5 chassis, the new RX-9 will follow along Mazda's new "Kodo - Soul of Motion" design language as seen on the Shinari concept unveiled in 2010. The two-door coupe will weigh no more than 2,755lbs and will feature Mazda's 16X rotary engine paired with an electric supercharger. This engine will mated to a twin clutch, two pedal six-speed tranny and will deliver 300hp. However, the increase in horsepower from the RX8's 232 to the RX-9's 300 won't make for frequent trips to the gas station. This revised engine is said to improve fuel economy by 20%.

The official debut will be sometime in 2012 with sales to begin sometime in 2013. Yes, we know that's quite a bit of time to wait for the actual car, but at least we have these renderings fresh off the artist's desk to tide everyone over until that time.

Stop hating ppl! Yes Mazda screw up on the Rx8. What u expect from a 32k car a Porche twin turbo. Modify the Rx8 like I did, supercharge and u have a deadly machine that eats v8 from a small simple 2 rotor engine. So no Rx8 does not = shit. Stop hating cause u got whip by an Rx8.

I know a lot of people hate on the RX-8, but my stock 2004 still eats Porsche Boxters, Hondas and Toyotas with lots of money in them, etc. 230-240 horses from an NA 1.3 L.

@OverlyExcitedNewJack There never was... :) I was just looking to see if anyone would get upset.

@fd364 lol there is zero continuity to this thread

[fd364]

@OverlyExcitedNewJack I would never say that! My Yugo is ridiculously slow... Except when compared to your Hyundai mini-van that you are so proud of...

[OverlyExcitedNewJack]

@fd364 You're not supposed to agree with it! Just goes to show that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. I could have said Yugo and you would have been like "ya my Yugo is faster than any rotary" like a complete moron.

@OverlyExcitedNewJack You said Hyundai, meaning it's on your mind... Or is that just what you call mommy's minivan to make it sound more cool?
