The rotary engine is synonymous with Mazda, thanks to iconic models like the RX-7 and Cosmo. And now there’s hope of a new rotary sports car, with the ICONIC SP concept.
If the ICONIC SP looks familiar, then you’ll have probably seen the Vision Study Model concept revealed in late 2022. Details on the digital-only concept were slim at launch, but now it’s grown into a proper concept, unveiled at 2023 Tokyo Motor Show alongside an updated version of the fourth-generation Mazda MX-5.
At the reveal of the ICONIC SP, Mazda President and CEO, Masahiro Moro said: “We love the MX-5, and the world loves the MX-5. We are determined in the age of electrification to keep the joy of driving which the MX-5 represents alive, and the Mazda ICONIC SP, with its dual rotary power generator EV powertrain, is our dream solution.”
