2025 Mazda RX-9 Unveiled! All New Sports Car

Hey everyone, and welcome back to AUTOMAGZKING. Today, we're diving deep into the highly anticipated Mazda RX-9, a car shrouded in mystery.

While Mazda hasn't confirmed its existence, rumors are swirling about its potential arrival in 2025.

The big question on everyone's mind: will the RX-9 retain the iconic rotary engine, or will Mazda take a different route?

Let's address the rotary engine first. We saw its return in 2023 as a range extender in the MX-30 R-EV.

However, stricter emissions regulations make it incredibly challenging to develop a rotary engine that complies with today's standards.

This is where the electric route becomes a compelling option. Developing an EV is far simpler than tackling the emissions hurdles of a rotary engine.

Why a Rotary RX-9 Might Not Happen.

Rotary engines, while offering impressive power for their size, have their downsides.

The infamous apex seals have a shorter lifespan, and rotary engines inherently burn oil – a major contributor to their demise as emissions regulations tightened.

The Electric RX-9: A More Realistic Possibility.

An electric RX-9 could be a reality, but for it to succeed, it needs to capture the essence of a traditional sports car.
