Mazda SENKU - the next ROTARY concept to be released at the 2005 Tokyo Autoshow
I got an email from the Houston RX-7 club and this is what it read.
Quote:
We received some exclusive information about the Rotary Offerings at the 2005
Tokyo Autoshow.
There will be no production RX-7 shown. HOWEVER, there will be a 2 door Rotary
Concept!
Rotarynews has learned the Mazda SENKU is powered by a Direct Injection RENESIS
1300cc Rotary Engine, mated to a rear wheel drive hybrid system. The concept
boasts a 3100mm (122") wheel base, 22 inch rims, and a 'surprising sliding
door.'
SENKU translates to "forerunner," "pioneer," or, oddly enough by one
translation: "pilot car."
Next up, there will be a concept Mazda5 with a Hydrogen Rotary Engine, plus
hybrid technology in a Front wheel drive layout.
Finally, Mazda will announce that the Hydrogen RX-8 will be ready for a general
lease program in Japan in January 2006.
Pics, press kits and photos will be available soon!!
See everyone at the meeting tonight at Freebirds!

Too bad theres no new RX-7 being shown, but this is some pretty neat stuff.
