据日本网站“Holiday Auto”报道，马自达将在2019年东京车展发布RX-9.不过，在量产版发布之间，马自达将在明年的东京车展发布一款概念车。据该网站报道，RX-9将搭载一台1.6升双转子汪克尔和单涡轮增压引擎，功率约为400马力。与马自达其他车型一样，该车的关键是整备质量很低，约为1300公斤，而实际量产版的重量甚至会更低，因此车辆加速性优异，而且非常灵活。不过，想获得这一切需要更高昂的成本。预计该车售价将达到800万日元以上，按照目前的汇率将达到79641美元（约合人民币52.88万元）。而如果马自达RX-9售价比照日产GT-R，则该车售价将超过10万美元。

 

Mazda RX-9 could be a 400-hp, 2,900-pound coupe due in 2019

Japanese site Holiday Auto claims that Mazda will debut the so-called RX-9 at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show. But before that happens, the Zoom-Zoom company will preview the production model with a concept at next year's Tokyo Motor Show.

 

Exciting as Holiday Auto's report is, the stats on this long-rumored car are better – via Google Translate, the Japanese site claims the RX-9 will use a 1.6-liter, two-rotor Wankel with a single turbocharger. It's good for around 400 horsepower. As with other Mazda products, a low curb weight is key, which is why engineers are targeting a meager 1,300 kilograms (2,866 pounds) for the production model – that weight should be pretty evenly split, too, thanks to a rear transaxle. So yes, the RX-9 will be stupid fast and extremely agile. But it will come at a cost.

 

And by cost, we mean that the RX-9 will start just south of eight million yen. That's $79,641 at today's rates, or enough to purchase about 2.5 RX-8 R3s, the hardcore handling trim of Mazda's last-gen rotary car. And if Mazda follows Nissan's GT-R pricing model, we'll see a six-figure RX-9 by 2025.
