MAzda previews next-gen RX-8 with new Taiki concept

The Taiki features real-world technologies such as a next-generation rotary engine and enhanced aerodynamic performance, and is being touted as a possible design direction for a future generation of Mazda sports cars.

I can see some elements of the front-end design as being an evolutionary step from today's look, but...

The rest, is all head-in-the-clouds future-think, and would prove far too polarizing for the average car buyer.

Next generation rotary?

Hopefully they'll be able to get better than 19mpg (highway) and 159lbft of torque that the current Rotary engine enjoys.
