Mazda's rotary engine might finally get back to doing what it did for decades: turning the wheels. Moritz Oswald, product-planning manager at Mazda Motor Europe, says the company's next rotary application will not just sit under the hood charging a battery.
That's a real shift from the setup in the MX-30 R-EV, Mazda's only current rotary-powered vehicle. Oswald hasn't named a car or a date. But he's given enough detail to separate genuine plans from wishful thinking.
