The car features an extremely low hood that only a rotary engine could allow for; all that’s missing are some pop-up headlights. In fact, the whole car is only 45.3 inches tall, nearly three inches shorter than the RX-7. It even features the iconic rounded door shape from the RX-7, which lift upwards slightly, similar to an Aston Martin. Those doors open to reveal a pretty simple cabin featuring a small infotainment screen, a gauge cluster screen, and a few switches on the center console.

If Mazda doesn’t put this car into production, it would be a crime against the car enthusiast community. This is the big brother that the Mazda MX-5 Miata has deserved since the RX-8 left production more than a decade ago.
