Mazda's latest rotary-engine sportscar is almost here - and our team of spies has caught a chassis mule heading out for a spin.
Although the low-slung bodywork of the production car has been replaced by a Mazda6 bodyshell, the bulbous headlights and reshaped bumper are a clear giveaway to what lies beneath.
Although this model will be a natural successor to the RX-8, making RX-9 the logical name choice, rumours are circulating that the RX-9 badge is to be shunned in favour of RX-7 – evoking memories of the rear-wheel-drive Mazda produced in various forms between 1978 and 2002.
