Mazda to Unveil New Sports Car Concept at Tokyo Motor Show

[orx626]

Maybe the next RX model as we are only two years away from the 50th Anniversary of the Cosmo Sport (Mazda's first production rotary powered vehicle).

HIROSHIMA, Japan—Mazda Motor Corporation will hold the world premiere of a new sports car concept model at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show, which runs from October 30 through November 8.*1 A total of 14 models will be on display at the Mazda stand, including crossover concept Mazda KOERU making its first appearance in Japan, two racing-spec Mazda Roadsters (known as Mazda MX-5 outside Japan) and the Cosmo Sport (110S outside Japan), first introduced in 1967.

The design of the sports car concept to be unveiled in Tokyo is modern but maintains a sense of lineage and authenticity, appearing almost to condense Mazda's entire history of sports car development into a single model.

In line with the company's theme for the Tokyo Motor Show this year, "Accelerate toward our dreams," Mazda will make an appeal for the brand's unique approach to driving pleasure. In addition to the sports car concept, Mazda KOERU will be on display along with new-generation models featuring SKYACTIV Technologies and KODO-Soul of Motion design. A motor sports exhibit will feature racing-spec Roadsters and the Cosmo Sport will compliment a heritage display showing Mazda's history of convention-defying engineering.

What a tease.

I'm backing it's a rotary hybrid.

Small rotary driving rear wheels, electric up front. What a concept!

Also "A motor sports exhibit will feature racing-spec Roadsters"

All they need to do is take a ND chassis, fit wider arch body panels and widers wheels, fit a hardtop, use bigger bakes and drop either a 13B turbo or a 2.0L turbo in the front of it, and call it a RX-7. Now that is a concept.

I would've gone with a 20B or 26B, but doubtful of them fitting in the NB chassis.

Beauty....Hope it satisfies all those who want a hard top ND

but it would look a lot better without a roof!!!

I'll bet it won't come in at sub $50k.

Beautiful lines though!

I know what my next sports car will be

Reminds me of a 240/260Z.
Still nowhere near as sexy as the FD.

You bloody legend!

Continued rotary development. Well, they have my attention!!!

Didn't see any mention of forced induction but with tyres that wide and mazda attempting to fix known rotary short comming (performance) I can only guess that they are going twin charged. Fingers crossed!

Is about 19 mm longer then a series 2/3, so should fit in the garage nicely.

They just need to build it and I just need to sell some cars to clear some space ;)

Think this one will be even phatter in person.

If anyone is after a mint series 2 excluding engine or a series 3 with worked series 5 running gear/driveline, feel free to send me a pm
