>190hp/170trq from base 2.0L
It's "supercharged" but a very tiny low-boost SC just designed to manage compression rather than increase power, so it's effectively NA. The 2.5L should make 237hp/213trq assuming it scales linearly. Also some new seats/suspension/chassis improvements.

>INB4 rotards mentally gymnast this into signifying a new Rx-7 is coming
Mazda just recently confirmed they're still working on the rotary.
how new are you, they confirmed it some time ago
I've seen this, seems pretty cool. I'm glad mazda is trying to push gasoline engines further into the future.
I also heard that Mazda recently bought hybrid technology from Toyota
SkyactivX is going to be really cool. You need to drive a Mazda3 if you haven't already and you'll understand how great the engine is even more-so.
Still working on it doesn't mean fuck all
They could have one engineer spit balling ideas and that'd be "working on it"
>The 2.5L should make 237hp/213trq assuming it scales linearly
Wat is law of diminishing returns?
>no spark plugs
>compression ignition
Doesn't this open a whole pandora's box of problems?
What about starting at -20°C?
What about durability and reliability?
If this doesn't deliver, it will push a lot more to e-cars.
