There's a good chance they will update the name to the RX9 due to it's similarities with the rx-8. IMO it looks too soft to be called an rx7.

I can't wait to see what this car brings to the table, I think mazda should experiment with the star rotary engine design I've heard rumors of.

It would be nice if they continued the trend that the RX7 did in making each generation a bit more track-ready than the last. The first gen was a little sports car for everyone, the second added IRS and turbo powa, and the third got rid of struts altogether for a fantastic track happy chassis with more brap brap power.

You guys do realize what you're looking is just a rendering made up by a car magazine right? It's not an actual car of any kind.
All Mazda really need do is stuff the 16X into the current MX-5 chassis and rebody it as a coupe. Done, there's our new RX-?

It doesnt do any of the past 3 generations of RX7's justice. The body it wayy out there but I suppose the final model will be more down to earth then the concept like always.
