Although many of you thought that the next sports-car from Mazda will be the RX-9, it appears that the Japanese manufacturer is planning to revive the RX-7 and to take on cars such as the Toyota FT-86! According to our sources, the new RX-7 could see the light as early as 2011. The new car will carry the new-generation Renesis 16x rotary engine and will develop around 350 hp and 215 pound-feet of torque, a good improvement if we compare it with the current 232 hp of the RX-8. Regarding the design of the new RX-7, this will evoke the original RX-7 sold in the U.S. from 1979 to 1985.
