  • What is my opinion on this? Well, I definitely think it's interesting that they're using a rotary again, but in the context of a simple range extender for an otherwise boring SUV, I must say, it's disappointing.
    Not only that, but frankly I think it's not a great move. It allows them to leverage marketing on the few things that's ever helped them stand out as a company, but otherwise it probably would've been easier to use a standard piston engine for this application.

    Id bet Mazda knows theres a lot pf people that want the rotary to come back, and this is a way for them to cover the RnD and testing costs before introducing anything major

      overall effeinncy is said to be garbage , i guess because of the engine, but if the weight is lower enough, the energy effeincy as a drivetrain in a car could be better than nissan e power or honda phev system in new civic or new prius system. the low weight compared to structrual strength and crash energy absorption, makes its safer per costs ,. the weight lower to ground (if that is how its still done) can make it preserve momentum around turns more, which is more energy effceint than relying on regenerative braking, and battery, brakes, lubrication, etc would last longer. tires longveity may not be affected despite higher speed and fun of preserving momentum with minimum g forces . reason why i dont liek electric car is that battery degradation and lack of battery recyling. dendrites that forms from battery degradation is messes with recyalability too. if you look at sandy munroe video caled wjats insize 680 battery, there could be indicator of how much of battery can be recycled by mechnaical seperation vs what chemical process would be needed, woudl it be susntinable process? recycling company called redwood. even if they fix this problem, will they dig through trash to find enviromentally damaged (rust, mud,etc) dead car batteries currently being dumped, and recycle them? in emissions, best hting to do is a ca rof where rear seats face the rear as comcpact 4 seate rreplacing 2+2 seater cars and yaris corolla cars, and rear mid engine small combustion flat 2 cylinder wnith no rotatiing parts to send power to wheels, instead magnets moving back and forth make electricty aand or a little supplemnetary compressed air , to power electric drive and compressed air driver, possibly with no battery or at minimal battery, using supercapacitor etc. single combustion chamber would help preserve heat for optimally low emissions or effeincy, hydrallic switch will push pistons back to position so they can be pushed by combustion.. optimal combustions per second for emissions with electric and mechnaical hybrid turbocharger, sometimes engine will run beyond optimal effiency or emissions levels for unsuually high power demand to protect long term emissiosn and fuel use reduction effetiveness of battery for common lower power use. with limited batterys to use, hybrids are already more effceint effective at reducing emissions, vs using that battery material for fewer cars who are electric cars, becaue most emissions happens in low speed high pushing power sitatuaitons of combustion car, where emissions are most likley to chemicaly harm health of nearby people becaue its usually compact city area with many people nearby. what battery size is best for longevity? see tony hellers climate change videos, maybe somone can make use of suspicious observers videos. see aptera owners club video on saftey, unqiue materials they use, lightweight is safer to peopel outsid ethe car but can be safe for people inside car compared to hevaier caar if using right materials, and even safer due to wat type of crash is more likley to happen.. linearly more lighter weight exponentially causes less road wear damage causing less resurces and emissions and road downtimes. in effeincy per functionality, rear seats facing rear in sompact 4 seater woudl make more sense. solarpanel effeincy is only arouund 20 percent and can become lot better if u want lower emissons(whch only helpful for heath of pepe wh send mhme near heavy traffic roads), then using mited batteyr supply for hybrids is lower emson than using the suppply for fewer cars whch are eletric car. big batteyr means exppnentially less effceint, so the more energy going in and out the battery means worse battery degradation, but more parraleles of battery reduce battery degradation... so more battery is not better, theres a balance to be had.

    Well if they are bothering to make tooling to mass produce these 8c units surely parts will become more available and the rotary modding and fabrication scene will take of the rest if Mazda themselves wont. The numbers aren't terrible for a low stress engine...

    It will be called RX-7 surely. The RX-8 wasn't a replacement it was a different concept imho.

    This sounds like it's gonna end up like their turbo SUV's that shit the bed before 75k miles. Super appealing on paper, until a few years pass by and you're in for a huge surprise bill.

    This move eliminates the need to build a whole new infrastructure for charging the car though. I always wondered, what if gas or diesel cars just keep the ICE but they replace the transmission, transaxles and differential with 2 electric motors for awd and a smaller battery than the actual EVs. They would act as superchargers, as they only need to charge the battery and that would power up the motors.

    Mazda really missed the boat by not putting the 13B in the Miata. The Rx8 was a neat car, but too wacky looking, and heavy compared to a Miata.

    the low weight might make up for the low effeincy on the lab bench (not in teh car) . reason why i dont liek electric car is that battery degradation and lack of battery recyling. dendrites that forms from battery degradation is messes with recyalability too. if you look at sandy munroe video caled wjats insize 680 battery, there could be indicator of how much of battery can be recycled by mechnaical seperation vs what chemical process would be needed, woudl it be susntinable process? recycling company called redwood. even if they fix this problem, will they dig through trash to find enviromentally damaged (rust, mud,etc) dead car batteries currently being dumped, and recycle them? in emissions, best hting to do is a ca rof where rear seats face the rear as comcpact 4 seate rreplacing 2+2 seater cars and yaris corolla cars, and rear mid engine small combustion flat 2 cylinder wnith no rotatiing parts to send power to wheels, instead magnets moving back and forth make electricty aand or a little supplemnetary compressed air , to power electric drive and compressed air driver, possibly with no battery or at minimal battery, using supercapacitor etc. single combustion chamber would help preserve heat for optimally low emissions or effeincy, hydrallic switch will push pistons back to position so they can be pushed by combustion.. optimal combustions per second for emissions with electric and mechnaical hybrid turbocharger, sometimes engine will run beyond optimal effiency or emissions levels for unsuually high power demand to protect long term emissiosn and fuel use reduction effetiveness of battery for common lower power use. with limited batterys to use, hybrids are already more effceint effective at reducing emissions, vs using that battery material for fewer cars who are electric cars, becaue most emissions happens in low speed high pushing power sitatuaitons of combustion car, where emissions are most likley to chemicaly harm health of nearby people becaue its usually compact city area with many people nearby. what battery size is best for longevity? see tony hellers climate change videos, maybe somone can make use of suspicious observers videos. see aptera owners club video on saftey, unqiue materials they use, lightweight is safer to peopel outsid ethe car but can be safe for people inside car compared to hevaier caar if using right materials, and even safer due to wat type of crash is more likley to happen.. linearly more lighter weight exponentially causes less road wear damage causing less resurces and emissions and road downtimes. the low weight compared to structrual strength and crash energy absorption, makes its safer per costs ,. the weight lower to ground (if that is how its still done) can make it preserve momentum around turns more, which is more energy effceint than relying on regenerative braking, and battery, brakes, lubrication, etc would last longer. tires longveity may not be affected despite higher speed and fun of preserving momentum with minimum g forces . .... in effeincy per functionality, rear seats facing rear in sompact 4 seater woudl make more sense. solarpanel effeincy is only arouund 20 percent and can become lot better if u want lower emissons(whch only helpful for heath of pepe wh send mhme near heavy traffic roads), then using mited batteyr supply for hybrids is lower emson than using the suppply for fewer cars whch are eletric car. big batteyr means exppnentially less effceint, so the more energy going in and out the battery means worse battery degradation, but more parraleles of battery reduce battery degradation... so more battery is not better, theres a balance to be had.

    The rx8 sold poorly. If they're smart, they'll throw in the towel and just make an rx9 with a tuned 4 cyl. I get the purists will disagree, but most people just want a sexy fun car that starts every time, if they're shelling out 30 grand or more.

      The Rx8 sold nearly 200k units. Certainly not as good as the FB/SA Rx7 selling nearly 500k, or the FC selling 250k. But certainly a lot better than the FD's measly 13k (though probably closer to maybe at most 50k, as the 13k comes from the USDM figure only). The RX8 sold relatively fine in terms of mid 2000s and early 2010s sports cars, the 350z sold about the same, the MRS (MR2 Spyder) only sold about 30k, MK4 Supra only around maybe 50k were even made, same for the S15, and less than 100k R34 ever produced. Remember sports cars have been on a heavy sales decline since the 90s, and Mazda is the smallest Japanese automaker. In terms of sales, the beloved, iconic FD failed wayyyyyy harder if your metric is the RX8 not selling well.

    Mazda RX9 - SuperCar

    So it's a hybrid which is way better than an EV but still called an EV?

    • @sebastiant5695
      @sebastiant5695 9 місяців тому

      depending which country you are in there are different definitions for Hybrid. In some places a engine needs to actually drive the wheels to be considered a Hybrid. Otherwise it's an EV with a Generator. For instance GB: noun: hybrid car "a car with a gasoline engine and an electric motor, each of which can propel it."
