Acc?rding t? a report fr?m Autocar, Mazda is currently working ?n a successor t? the ?ld RX-7 and the current RX-8. Believed t? carry the RX-9 nameplate, the next-gen sports car is tipped t? ditch the innovative but clumsy quasi-f?ur-door lay?ut ?f the current RX-8, and that the platform is t? be spun ?ff from the MX-5 r?adster. But what y?u really want t? know about is the engine.
Dubbed the 16X pr?ject, the new Renesis r?tary engine is expected to gr?w in size considerably ?ver the RX-8's and pack ar?und 300 horsepower � quite a bit m?re than the 232 hp we enj?y in the current car.

Mazda is also said t? be hard at w?rk keeping the engine as clean and efficient as possible, as the current RX-8's high fuel and ?il consumpti?n have driven it out ?f certain markets already. The Japanese automaker c?uld alternatively turn the RX-9 project strictly int? a hydrogen hal? vehicle, which might be nice if y?u happen t? live near a hydrogen pipeline, less s? for the rest ?f us.
