\nIt’s the rumor that just refuses to die<\/a>. We’re not sure if that means there’s a lot of truth behind it or it’s just wishful thinking, but once again we’re hearing that Mazda<\/a> is hard at work on a new RX-7 sportscar. And while you might think such a vehicle would be as easy as adding a turbocharger to the existing Renesis-powered RX-8<\/a> and jettisoning the back seat (or pulling a Kabura<\/a> with the MX-5’s<\/a> platform), Mazda apparently has much more grandiose intentions for its next range-topping sportscar.<\/p>\n

According to Motor Trend<\/em>, Mazda’s oft-talked-about 16X rotary engine<\/a> is now capable of running on either gasoline or diesel with nary a difference in performance. We have to wonder about the accuracy of such claims, but if true, perhaps running on diesel or biofuels would give Mazda the eco-cred it’s aiming for – specifically boosted fuel economy and lower CO2 output. In any case, MT says that Mazda is aiming for something north of 300 horsepower with improved fuel consumption, emissions and oil intake over the current Renesis.<\/p>\n

As ever, we’re taking a wait-and-see approach to these continuing rumors. As much as we’d love to see a new RX on the scene, we’re beginning to wonder if it’s ever going to happen. In the meantime, enjoy the photo gallery of the too-awesome-for-words Mazda Furai<\/a> concept.<\/p>\n
