2012 Mazda RX-9

The new Mazda RX-9 which could appear in 2012 is now just a concept car. There is no official information confirming the rumors.

This is what user WashUJon wrote on justput.com:

So far the rumors are that the engine will be a revamped (next generation?) Renesis. It will supposedly resolve the oil gulping nature of the current Wankel and be more fuel efficient (the holy grails of Wankel enginedome?). The new powerplant should also rise in displacement from 1.3 to something near 1.8 liters. Everyone wants two turbos stuffed under the hood and that’s rumored as well, but we’ll have to see.

The transmission is said to be a dual-clutch 6 speed sequential setup, like the new Mitsubishi Evolution X’s transmission.

Is it just a dream, imagination or a real project? We’ll see in 2012.
