The last-generation RX-8 left much to be desired and felt like the company had given up on its history.
But if a new report from Japan’s Best Car is to be believed, those acolytes may soon be satiated.
According to Best Car, Mazda has been secretly engineering a new front-engined, rear-wheel drive sports car that could bring back the RX nameplate and is getting ready to debut it at the forthcoming show.
While little else is known about the forthcoming coupe, Best Car says Mazda is hoping to deliver the car with over 350 horsepower, which would put the car firmly in the Mustang, Camaro, and Supra territory.
We know our fans will be yearning for additional details, however, specific models, performance figures and market rollout will be disclosed at an appropriate time.”Adding fuel to the Mazda fire is a recently captured video of a camouflaged Mazda RX-8 running around Germany’s Nurburgring.
