Jan 31, 2010 | Comments 6
Mazda was found testing the new edition of RX7 rotary powered sports car hidden inside the makeshift body panel of a gauche looking Mazda 6. Spy photographers have captured images of this edition which was found being tested on the streets.
This new edition features shorter wheelbase and sits lower than the Mazda 6. The new Mazda edition has distinguishing headlights which protrude in the front and reshaped bumpers that signify a new look. There are reports from onlookers who claim that the position of the fuel filler cap is in a totally different position when compared to the regular Mazda 6.
It is expected that this new edition would feature a rear wheel drive layout and will be launched in 2011. This new edition is expected to be the successor of the previous generation FD RX-7 and would generate an approximate output of 200-250 horsepower.
It is expected that this new edition will pick up styling cues from the 2008 Takai concept and 2007’s race inspired Furai concept car.
Mazda will look at improving the problems that are faced with the current 13B unit found in RX-8. To offer improved performance and offer a better fuel economy it is expected that Mazda will focus on lowering the weight of the engine itself and will hence choose a modest power out.
It is presumed that the 2012 Mazda RX-7 will be tagged at a price well below $30,000. And will offer tough competition to upcoming Toyota and Subaru joint sports car and Hyundai Genesis Coupe.

I have a Mazda and it’s a old version, but till date I love to ride this car. Its not about the car you go mad, its about how you mainatain your car!! Even a Ferrari can be screwd if you don’t care about it.
A tough competiton to toyota and Subaru??? R u kiddin me?? That also for 30 k!! This has to be some serious business.
This is a decent car to be bought. It is not that expensive as well. Below $30,000 for this power, this looks anyone will be ready.
In less than 5 years Mazda has shown a considerable success in the Auto world. Mazda 5 was also a big success.
Now the company is not only focussing on performance but also on its design.
Mazda is pogressing day by day. It is making its path towards success.
