Is this the upcoming Mazda RX-9?
These are supposed to be leaked product images of the upcoming successor to the Mazda RX series of rotary coupes – the Mazda RX-9. Under the hood will be the new RENESIS 16X, a 1.6 liter twin rotor engine.
It looks like a much more toned down version of the Mazda Taiki, with the only similiarity remaining being the coupe shape and the rather extraterrestrial-looking front grille.
One more rear shot after the jump.

Whats wrong with the Rx-7 name? Why Rx-9? Will there be another Rx-7?
It looks weird.
I thought it was a new Mercedes coupe with a badly designed nose job before I noticed the badge.
The FD3S is still one of the sexiest cars ever made. Low, wide, curvacious, purposefull. I would still get myself one if there was a local speedshop nearby that can rebuild 13Bs….

Idea from Bat Mobile for sure….the back look so much like aston martin DB9 just the colours are diff… overall…not bad…

OMFreakingG, drooling. RX8 already killing me, this one nuke me.
January 4, 2008 @ 11:04 am
Most probably a photochop. It’s nice, but I think the real deal from Mazda should look sweeter
January 4, 2008 @ 11:10 am

January 4, 2008 @ 11:54 am
the headlights look like CLS, the taillights look like the old nissan fairlady
January 4, 2008 @ 12:33 pm
Other than the fussy nose, this car looks awesome! Mazda was supposed to create an RX-7 replacement. Maybe this is it?
January 4, 2008 @ 1:07 pm
hmmm…. looks like artist impression.
not quite happy with the rear end, and the whole car dont feel as cohesive as say, the RX-8.
Maybe it’ll look better in flesh tho….
January 4, 2008 @ 1:13 pm
weird…
January 4, 2008 @ 1:20 pm
The next generation Mazda RX-7 is not like that…
Zoom Zoom…
January 4, 2008 @ 1:35 pm
So much to come…
January 4, 2008 @ 1:58 pm
Cool…Muscular looking,
January 4, 2008 @ 2:45 pm
Don’t you think it looks alot smaller than the existing RX-8? But it looks good tho…I like it…RENESIS FTW!
January 4, 2008 @ 2:48 pm
yea the fd3s is still the looker.
there is nothing really wrong with the current rx8. all they need to do is fix the engine.
January 4, 2008 @ 3:57 pm
the rear looks like it has been chop or sumthin…demn flat. and the whole body proportion is kinda wierd
January 4, 2008 @ 6:08 pm
I like..maybe a three rotor 1.6?? I like even more..
January 4, 2008 @ 6:28 pm
haha..twin rotor…btw..anyone can briefly describe some about rotary engine leh…
January 4, 2008 @ 7:51 pm
I guess that’s 19″ rim ?
January 4, 2008 @ 8:00 pm
its an artist’s impression reworked on mazda’s kabura concept shown on rotarynews website last week. personally i think it really should be an rx-5 as kabura was a smaller car based on the mx-5 platform. i also think the original kabura is prettier esp the rear and the innovative (wierd) 3+1 seating.
there’s a newer artist’s impression of the rx-9 on rotarynews this week.

looks like the manufacturer madza purposely leaked the pics to see people’s reaction over the proposed design. PR skills indeed.
January 4, 2008 @ 8:51 pm
this is a photoshopped aston DB8 lah..
January 4, 2008 @ 9:22 pm
are those audi tt headlamps??
January 4, 2008 @ 9:58 pm
wow.. a very handsome car indeed..
January 4, 2008 @ 10:46 pm
Very muscular car, can put in 3 girlfriends in one go!
January 4, 2008 @ 10:47 pm
These are REAL functional double exhaust, not like our puny lawn mover sawi with one fake exhaust for their “limited edition”.
January 4, 2008 @ 10:49 pm
Lotus handling DNA is not up to mark to be fit into this macho car, as it is not good enough to habdle “fast & furious” engine. It is suitable for lawn mover only..
January 5, 2008 @ 12:40 am
i will still choose the current RX-8, looks better……
to sunsilk: find out more at wikipedia……
January 5, 2008 @ 12:50 am
combination of DB9 + Merc + Audi novulari front grill
January 6, 2008 @ 9:39 pm
yup… i agree with all of u that say rx-7 fd3s is the best rx ever produce… but drink petrol like coke
January 6, 2008 @ 9:43 pm
maybe this 1.6cc rotor engine suck petrol like water… lagi die la…
