Mazda is preparing for a possible return of the rotary engine, a technology historically associated with the Japanese carmaker. Company executives discussed the prospects for the technology with Car Magazine UK, as Mazda continues to study its use in future vehicles, according to the British publication.
The Japanese manufacturer Mazda is preparing the return of its rotary engine, which was discontinued in 2012 when production of the RX-8 sports car ended, according to information gathered from company executives by Car Magazine UK.
The rotary engine, used since 1965 in iconic models such as the Cosmo, offered high power for its size but suffered from fuel consumption and emissions considered too high, leading the company to abandon it in its performance cars.
