This is honestly the best way. PHEV's are the best solution for most, especially when you consider what you can do with vehicle-to-grid. Suddenly owning a vehicle can be a new kind of energy independence when the grid can't provide. Most people can probably make do with 60 miles of range, so why put more battery in than that. 1/5th the battery in every vehicle and we'll cut out the majority of consumer generated transportation emissions. Electric motors are also the superior traction platform, so performance should be outstanding.
The 6port renesis already has what you called a "variable valve". It's not that as rotaries don't have valves. But the renesis has a hollow tube ( sleeve) that sits in the auxiliary port and turns based upon inlet vacuum opening or closing the auxiliary ports which are on top of the usual secondary ports. You can bridge the auxiliary ports and leave this sleeve in the port to enjoy extra power without the "brap" idling (sleeve closed at idle).
I honestly think that Mazda builds some of the best looking cars in today’s car market / current automotive world! Their Soul Red color is gorgeous! This ICONIC SP prototype looks really nice! It’s a clean and simple design - A miracle in today’s automotive world…
I think the rotory has a place in engines for the future. This just proves it have validity for other applicatuon. I believe the future of the evolution of wngines will be a combination of motors...not just one.And not just electric assist...but perhaps a combination of rotory,electric and hydrogen to power a new innovative motor.
All rumors and concepts only but nothing gets to production. Can't take Mazda seriously anymore with just promises and rumors. So sad. How the mighty have fallen.
How will a thicker seal work properly if it wears past a certain point? Just because there's more seal material, doesn't mean the seal will last longer
Instead of the rotary as just a range extender, maybe it will be for middle rpms. Battery boost is better for taking off and passing, then running the rotary at a steady middle rpm to save the apex seals and not burn engine oil. It also charges the battery along with braking regen.
The first time that I hear of electric motors controlling rotor speed and intake port valve operation/timing (a new take on VVT) for both performance (via longer or shorter intake charge duration) and efficiency. With aluminum rotor housings to dissipate heat and more durable apex seals, I am all ears and in on this one.
The rotary is "cool" and all, but they proved their point with 787. And tried it already with the RX-8. If they put the tuebo 6 from the cx90 and priced it around 45k it'll sell like crazy.
It's just speculation. The Iconic SP concept has been teased as a successor to the MX-5 (even though this can change anytime). Even the engineers of the concept has told reporters that the concept can be shrunk to the same dimensions as an MX-5. While Mazda has already confirmed that the lineup is going hybrid by 2026 due to emissions regulations. Which means the MX-5 and possibly the next RX will be hybrid. We'll have to wait and see what else Mazda will unveil in the future, whether or not the RX-7 will happen or not.
lol MONEY is what will save internal combustion engines. Once manufacturers and people in general figure out the electric vehicles long-term aren’t really any cleaner and they’re not as profitable to make. They’re gonna be right back to internal combustion engines and they’re probably gonna charge a premium for them and we’re all gonna buy them up like idiots.😮💨
Diesel rotary sounds crazy but, diesel is slightly oily so that would prolong the apex seal life i think. That multi fuel engine idea sound sketchy tho
Why are you guys playing it up so much? I've been watching for a long time, and I'm not trying to be offensive, but you guys act like you're talking to children.
The goal with the electric car laws is not pollution control but population control. That's why all goes on battery cars and no other options are seeked.
It seems all great ( beautiful concept btw) but we all know that electric cars are the future. Seen many videos about saving the I.C.E. Even Porsche. But now they are making EV Caymans and Macans. Think about it 😊
That mazda prototype SP concept likely wouldn't meet production looking like that... Pop-up's have been illegal unless they found a work-around. Vehicles need bumpers, at least in north america, which this vehicle doesn't have. Other various small things.... But I'm really hoping they keep with the smooth, no nonsense bodylines, a grille that doesn't look like it's designed to fit an entire cow through it.... Something both the RX vision and SP concept have. These bodylines make this car sporty. Not slapping fake vents on it.
That thing looks sick. I always thought a performance hybrid should use the electric motor to eliminate all turbo lag. Wouldn't need much battery at all, just a good capacitor.
Mazda needs a race/sports development team in their line up
Love anything that that isn’t a EV and that Mazda is Beautiful
wonder if they'll offer it in manual, my guess would be no, also probably not going to be cheap at all

The rotary will only charge the battery, mark my words.

Rotary? Yea, yeah that's cool, but what I'm really excited about is the return of the Mazda grinning grille!
Pop up headlights on concept are really cool. I had a RX-2 wayyyyy back in 1980. Really fun. Overheated a lot.
That mazda actually looks pretty cool

The powertrain concept reminds me of the regera.

Fact: Rumors say The bew Rotary will be tunable to dragster level
Its not confirmed but ..
I hope that they can save all the beautiful machines in this world

Is it just me or did you also notice the headlights r a pop-up headlight 🤔🤔🤔🤔
If the rotary will be just a range extender, i will be really disappointed but if not, im really really excited

Rotary power

it better be a stick and affordable
Are gonna buy it????
guarantee it'll be neither of those lmao
@@truckingjamaicans5045 I would for sure
Their variable timing is awesome, but possible to implement in range extender only
Rotary engines are a gimmick, unjustified fanboyism.
inefficiency is the root of all self-expression

Nice body but rotary’s are laaame. It would be nice with an LS swap.
No ls motor will rpm to over10k...😂
The beauty is there,....now reliability........

Theories with minimal proof
Dudes voice pitch cracks me up.

If they make is ANOTHER fwd POS, it will be junk and not make money like the RX7, or any real performance car.
Current rotary Mazda is terrible
I predict this rotary will fail.

It will be nice if the electric motor is used only in local traffic or cruising modes only.
It would be nice if the battery wasn't in the car... Or used to start the engine only.

Hope they sort out the crazy oil consumption of their previous rotary Mazdas!
