Launched at the Tokyo Motor Show, the Mazda RX-Vision is the result of the Japanese company's designers being let loose to explore its KODO design language in a front engine, rear-drive rotary coupe.
Just like any good Mazda sports car, there's a rotary hiding under that shapely hood. Although we don't know anything beyond the fact its called Skyactiv-R, the RX-Vision comes from a long line of legendary sports cars, including the RX-7 and the 787B which, in 1991, became the only Japanese car to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Unfortunately, heavy fuel and oil consumption killed
the rotary over three years ago.
But by badging this concept Skyactiv,
Mazda has indicated a willingness to find an efficient solution to
making the rotary work in the real world. Here's hoping it gets to
production.
