Any speculations?

the announcement of the next rotary production car

Of those two, it's would most likely be the ladder. I heard that Mazda had given up on the diesel. They couldn't compete in the new class structure.

But, I don't think it's either. I think is a peak at the new Miata.

A concrete confirmation that a new rotary car is coming would be nice, but I'd guess this is something MX-5 related since we know for sure that the redesign is coming soon.

Not a rotary... :(

alnielsen 11-12-2013 10:37 PM

If it was a rotary engine car, you think they would have timed for the announcement to be with SS.

RIWWP 11-12-2013 10:41 PM

I'll place my bets on the ND Miata announcement.


Well... the carbon fiber in the pic is bothering me a bit.

Mazda's return to Lemans maybe? :dunno:

Cornbred 11-12-2013 10:44 PM

I got to say miata... but is this an announcement of something that's going to compete? I'm not seeing where a miata would compete here succesfully... unless.. the new miata was just bad ass.. bad ass miata... oxymoron?

The new ND Miata will almost certainly be lower in power than the current one. The spy shots are already showing a noticeably smaller ND than NC.

But yes, any Miata announcement is an announcement of a car that is going to compete. It's hugely popular for weekend racers, and that isn't going to suddenly change any time soon.

Cornbred 11-12-2013 10:50 PM

ya but I mean united sports car championship. .. not sure a mx-5.. has what it takes in these classes... don't get me wrong.. not a miata hater

Ah. Yeah, the Miata only competes in the lowest class. It won't be in the GT class field.

Mazdaspeed RX8 ver2 11-13-2013 12:03 AM

I'm hoping for a rotary announcement but the new mx-5 would still be something incredible to see. It'll definitely bring in some cash for further development of the mazda company and maybe some rnd money for a new rotary engine.

Cornbred 11-13-2013 12:22 AM

I'm pretty sure the rotary is dead... protoype burns to the ground and is swept under the rug... hate the idea.. but think its reality... rx8 may be the last true rotary

"never stop challenging" is motorsport-related for Mazda, no production related announcement

Speedsource is involved.

i think that will be a LMP2 diesel car.

also for LeMans race.

RIWWP 11-13-2013 08:50 AM

Mazda Motorsports posted this on their FB page, which is pretty telling I think.

That image changes everything.

Jedi54 11-13-2013 12:14 PM

yup, Paul and I were just discussing this last night.
The Tudor logo makes things quite interesting...

reddozen 11-13-2013 12:55 PM

Watch company aye....

RIWWP 11-13-2013 01:01 PM

I'd say definitely an LMP car. If you look closely, you can see the hints of the center nose raised section that fits:

No rotary, no care.

SayNoToPistons 11-13-2013 02:54 PM

Remember when Mazda "teased" us with the "fastest convertible race" that actually ended up being a top dropping race against supercars?


Yeah, screw you Mazda. Spy shots reveal more to the public more than Mazda does first hand.

wcs 11-13-2013 03:13 PM

^^^ I'm not quite this angry but .... yeah.

I totally get the last two posts.

Rotary or don't care
