New Mazda RX-9? Please!
Today I will discuss a little and not on any topic. A few days ago, Mazda patents were made public that could offer work on a new sports model from the RX family.
Mazda sells well today, offering crossovers and station wagons. However, when we look at the history of the brand, modern cars can seem boring. Of course, there is a legendary model. MX-5but, undoubtedly, Mazda is not doing very well in the sports segment. Everyone remembers the model RX-7which today has already become a real legend. There was also the RX-8, which I think is a little redesigned, but still respectable. Of course, it's all about the Wankel engine. However, is the theoretical model RX-9 would you get such a bike?
Sports Mazda. Who is it for?
Start with this Mazda today it is a brand that is loved for reasonable, dynamic and rather pretty cars. However, we are talking about station wagons, sedans, hatchbacks and SUVs. But let's not forget that the Japanese know how to make sports cars, and this is very good. The aforementioned MX-5 is the king of small sport roadsters. When you think of a cheap, front-engined, rear-wheel-drive convertible, you think of Mazda MX-5.
But let's go back a few decades, when the offer of the Japanese concern was overflowing with sports coupes. The RX series itself is not only the above two models, but many others. Before the era of popularity Mazda RX-7models were produced in 1970-1978 RX-2 Oraz RX-3which also had a rotary engine. There was also a model RX-4which is an absolute highlight today and looks amazing.
will be MX it is not only the iconic “five”. On the roads you can still find a small, more urban coupe - Mazda MX-3. It's also becoming rare. MX-6However, these cars did not gain much popularity and hearts of buyers because of the front-wheel drive (although there were those with 4WD drive). The model also deserves attention. Mazda 929which was also offered as a coupe.
story Mazda it is full of sports cars or cars close to that name. So, today's offer for fans of the brand can be sad. Many dream of Mazda sports car, and today's trend of reviving the classics is the time to update the offer. Toyota's recent move with the GT86 and Supra shows that people are looking for this type of car, and it's selling out (despite the Supra's harsh criticism). And that is why, when rumors circulate in society about Mazda sports carjournalists around the world are going crazy.
A patent came out this month that may indicate that Mazda working on a new sports car. Moreover, the brand's anniversary is approaching, and with it the celebration - and it looks good to celebrate such an event with a new sports model.
Mazda patents and drawings
All the excitement around the alleged model Mazda RX-9 appeared after the publication of a patent for the shock-absorbing structure of the car. This would not be anything extraordinary, because Mazda produces a lot of cars. However, it all comes down to the fact that the specifics of the solution, visible in the pictures attached to the patent, do not apply to any car currently produced. What's more, on the road to peace is an inline six-cylinder engine that fits in size and design to the frame presented in the patent. It is worth noting that the platform is also adapted to transfer power to the road through the rear axle.
All these elements make you believe that Mazda working on a sports car. Admittedly, the world has already seen tons of patents that are not reflected in the real world. However, it is worth noting that the company is doing very well, and it earns a lot. Offer only Mazda MX-5everyone loves. However, this is not enough and there are voices shouting for a new sport. Mazda there are many. When we join this for the brand's upcoming -year anniversary, it creates an image that favors all who are waiting for a breath of fresh air in the world of sports coupes for people.
Japanese media about the project
A Japanese magazine, citing an anonymous source, reports that the patent in question served as the basis for the model. Mazda RX-9. However, it is hard to believe that Mazda creates a sports car design without any collaboration, which will not share by designing with a platform with another model. It is difficult (financially) to build a small-scale car with a special platform. It makes much more sense to split one CD between several models.
However, everything at the moment is speculation and filing a patent is not tantamount to creating a serial model.
However, I personally believe that a Mazda sports car will be built. I'm not sure if it will be equipped with a Wankel engine. Much closer to me to say that the said six-cylinder inline engine will be used. This is somewhat sad, because we all would like a model Mazda RX-9, TV series RX without Wankel just does not stick. A lot of things are happening in the Japanese concern and the hope for a sports Mazda is not stupid. However, everything will become clear in the near future. Finally Mazda Soon he is celebrating the anniversary of the brand, and the preparation of a well-known model in the media, which will be a strong competitor to the resulting Toyota Supra, will be a wonderful gift - both for the concern and for buyers.
