Mazda Previews Imminent Rotary Engine Revival

Mazda has confirmed it will unveil its next generation of rotary engines later this week via Chinese branch’s Weibo social media account.

Chang’an Mazda posted an image of the brand’s first rotary engine model, the 1967 Cosmo coupe, coincided with a new logo for the brand’s “7th Gen Product Cluster” and the phrase “rotor engine makes the world more beautiful”.

Since the RX-8 ended production, the Japanese automaker’s only machines to feature a rotary engine have been the race cars in the American Pro Mazda junior single-seater series.
