Mazda RX-01

The Mazda RX -01 is a concept car, the Mazda presented at the 1995 Tokyo Motor Show. The car was z.T. created in response to the conditioned by the economic situation of shrinking the market for supercars and should show a back-to - simplicity movement, which recalled the small, simple and cheap cars, such as the first RX -7, which nevertheless prepared a lot of driving fun. ( At this time, the RX -7 had already developed into an uncompromising super sports car with high performance, low comfort and a very high price). The RX -01 showed a radically designed vehicle front with a movable front bumper / spoiler, which was made possible by saving his seat rotary engine and was designed as a true 2 2 sports car. More important still was the first public presentation of the new generation of Mazda rotary engines, the type 13B- MSP. This is a naturally aspirated engine, the exhaust manifold is now in the side casing instead of in the area of the rotor housing are what prevents overlap of intake and exhaust. This has several advantages: higher power, improved thermal efficiency, better utilization of fuel and lower emissions. Enthusiasts were hoping would go RX -01 in series production and represent the next generation of Mazda sports cars ( The U.S. RX -7 was the end of 1995 no longer available), but the customers turned away and the SUV of the sports car and Mazda's financial situation at that time just yet allowed the realization of the RX -01 concept car. However, the 13B- MSP engine was further developed into the Renesis engine that drives the RX -8 today.
