The rotary engine was a glorious experiment, but Mazda's future can't be forged in the past.

Mazda stopped making rotary sports cars in 2012 when the final RX-8 rolled off the assembly line. Only three years later, the company rekindled hopes for a Wankel-powered coupe with the stunning RX Vision concept shown in 2015. However, nothing came of that project, and after another three years, the rotary engine development team was disbanded altogether. Now, it’s even harder for Mazda to rationalize spending on a car it knows from the outset would be a niche product.
