Holy thread resurrections Batman!!!
But this news confirms the RX9 is coming with a brand new rotary and brand new designed engine specific turbochargers...
And this render is beautiful. Its reminiscent of the old FD. I hope they keep the old dash layout. Just make it digital for today's tastes.

This new Mazda RX9 looks to have a sleek and sharp body style. The power plant is weak only 2.0L?? The only good news for Mazda is they are owned by various Japanese stakeholder today and fortunately Ford has no shares in Mazda so the new RX9 model should be a much better build and quality than it’s previous predecessor models. Will there be a RX9 model Mazda we will see?? Mazda has a great chance to improve in the auto market we will see what the future is for Mazda they have potential but they need models like the RX9 to be popular in the current auto market though.

The FD series rotary was a 1.3 liter that put out 255hp/217lbs of torque on a 2800lb car. Zero to 60 happened in 5.5 seconds with a sub 14 second quarter mile, stock. Rotary uses displacement differently. This engine should be able to make over 300hp b4 the hybrid system I believe is being planned as a torque booster.

Yeah it is... I'm not sure I'd take a Z over this. Mazda has really stepped their game up. Their subpremium cars are near Lexus quality. Lets see what happens

I think Car and Driver tested the 1993 RX7 0-60 in 4.9 seconds and quarter mile in the high 13 seconds, impressive at that time period.

I obviously am a Mazda fan, but we've been hearing about the "new rx9" for forever. I'll believe it when I see it.

The 13B wouldn't pass emissions, and those of us that have owned the FD have amazing stories of unreliability, going thru st least one engine rebuild and feeding our cars a ridiculous amount of oil. Mazda has gone back to the drawing board for these reasons and to me, that's valid. Plus Ford almost bankrupted them out of the business.

Unlike Nissan, that saw amazing sales records on almost every bread and butter car they built from 2008 to 2014... then began slipping on those numbers in efforts trying to compete against Tesla. And right now PRO-PILOT is taking a slow massive shyt of unreliability.

The car market and hollywood cinema are suffering the same demise... SJW 's have infiltrated both markets with their BS and both have a confused market. Show we tree hug or should we put out what people want? So they play the middle. And whenever you play as y the middle you lose. they all should have focused on 1 serious EV n STFU n be patient. While keeping the car market successful while it was.

Nissan made an amazing engine in that VR30dett . But they neglected that chassis n transmission for PRO PILOT II. Just build a sports car with luxury amenities.

At least Mazds has been true to their mission the whole time. Yes they're underpowered and it affects my purchase of one right now. N I dont do crossovers, I'll never be "that guy". So mazda is a no go right now... but let them make a respectaable Rx7? I'll be back in one soon enough.

The LA auto show didn't have the Mazda, it's not happening for 2020.

Nissan killed themselves by making $hitty product. They have nothing new and they have nothing that can compete in any market segment. It has nothing to do with Pro Pilot or the electric cars. They simply don't have anything to offer. The only thing they can compete on is price in fleet sales, they are selling these old a$$ Altimas and Sentras that people treat them worse than village bicycles.

I guess the only exception to that is Dodge with their Challengers/300M, I can't believe they are still selling them after 10 years.

Seen the sales report last week. Hard to believe, but the Challenger out sold both the Camero, and Mustang for the year so far.

It’s b/c the challenger isn’t trying to be anything it’s not, it’s an unapologetic midsize (think gm a body style) muscle car, lots of awesome noise and tire smoke, big hp numbers good in a straight line and fun on a windy road at 7/10ths but no more. Oh, and burnouts.

Mopar has always had a Fvck you type attitude about there offerings and they build what they are passionate about and believe in.

Camaros and stangs are trying to be sports cars, and they turn incredible lap times, but almost no one is buying one bc of that bc the buying public will always view them as muscle cars, (yes, technically they’re pony cars, but that’s an academic argument). The arguments on this board about camaro and stang vs the z prove that.

And from a muscle car buyers perspective, no one out muscle cars the challenger.

It’s proof that if you make passionately inspired products that aren’t designed to appeal to everyone you can be successful and authentic and trying to be something you’re not or trying to be everything to everyone is a losing strategy. Just ask Nissan about that last point.

I’d take a challenger over either a camaro or stang any day, but if I want a sports car, the only American offering worth my time would be the vette, but I don’t like vette so it’s out, I’ll stick with the Germans thank you very much.

This is Mazda Rx9 thread and you're having a rant about muscle cars?

Anyway, I'll smoke the fvck outta you in my wannabe sports car camaro whether you're in a challenger or Z or mustang. I never raced a Z but I've shyttedI on every mopsr I raced and I just took 2 shyts on a 5.0. It was hilarious. Z's dont even try.

Anyway... enough of you thread hackers and Z nuthuggers. back to Mazda More info on the new rotary!!
