Mazda is now famous for its strong stance that ordinary gasoline and diesel engines still have a place on this earth, but after all they have to be prepared if the era of electric cars starts to dominate. Actually Mazda has plans to introduce their first electric car in 2020, but in addition to having to invest in battery technology and electric motors, Mazda also has to increase investment in rotary engines.
Hey, wait, what is the connection between the rotary engine and the electric car? Inside Mazda's head, the reason was simple: The rotary engine was small, the power was large and the vibration was smooth. The rotary ethos make the rotary machine suitable to be used as a machine for a Range Extender car. Well, if you mention the rotary, it's hard not to involve a typical Mazda sports car, the Mazda RX. Certainly what is meant by Mazda RX-9, the production version of Mazda RX-Vision.
The more Mazda continues to refine technology and rotary efficiency, the more likely that their new rotary engine goes down to more sporty cars like the Mazda RX. This is a statement made by Mazda before, but Mazda executives are still talking about the prospect of the engine.

"Electric cars do not necessarily answer everything," said Wojciech Halarewicz, vice president of Mazda's communications in Europe to Pistonheads. "The internal combustion engine still has a role, and if you ask if I want a rotary sports car as the ultimate car, I will say 'Yes, I want'. My acquaintance also wants. So this is a matter of maintaining sales growth to make sure we can make cars like that in the future. "
In the near future, Mazda is more keen to introduce their new SkyActiv-X engine which will make its debut in the latest generation of Mazda 3. Incidentally, we have flown to Japan to taste the prototype where the engine is still experiencing a bit of knocking symptoms, but we were lulled by the chassis that feels really European. Yes, I have, the spirit of developing the rotary is Mazda.
