Dude, that's because they're trying to get a rotary to not break. Once they figure that out, we'll get a new RX7.

I read a few months ago that Mazda wasn't able to make the Wankle feasible in the long term for purely gasoline use. It pretty much put the nail in the coffin for a new RX-7. A new sports car isn't out of the question, but chances are, it won't be a rotary.

Not a shock there. It's either naturally aspirated and gets bad gas mileage with mediocre reliability and no power, or turboed and blows up if you look at it funny.

wouldn't have that problem with a v8

Was Mazda ever considering putting a V8 in a new RX-7?
