Mazda might be cooking something big, folks. We don’t want to give you empty hopes but there’s a new patent from the Japanese firm showing a sports car powered by an electrified rotary engine. Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean it is going into production but it is at least an indication Mazda is actually considering it.
Even though the patent was originally applied for in June 2021, it was published in the United States last week and was first unearthed by The Drive just yesterday. The document doesn’t include a lot of information about the rotary engine itself but says it is placed at the front. Apparently, Mazda also sees potential in more traditional engine types “such as a reciprocating engine.”
