Goodbye 4-door RX-8, hello “new RX-7″ or to be specific, the RX-9. Mazda’s new 2-door flagship sports car has a few tricks up it’s sleeve and development is well underway… Mazda enthusiasts will be glad to know that the gasoline powered rotary engine is here to stay and the long awaited return of the RX-7 will happen but under a new name. Holiday Auto (HA) claim the new sports car to grace Mazda’s line up will be called “RX-9″ and it’s likely to debut after the restyled Roadster, sometime in the first half of 2012! What about the RX-8? It (and the new RX-7) will continue on as a single new 2-door only model, the RX-9. The RX-9 is slated to introduce a world-first clutch technology and is expected to be only slightly heavier than the current Roadster. -7tune
