Thick five years ago, we saw the first rumors about the comeback of the Mazda RX-7. He is not there yet, but fans of the Japanese icon can be the fall of 2017 better keep clear.

Kiyoshi Fujiwara, a higher-up at the Japanese manufacturer, during a meeting in Barcelona namely reveals that the sporty coupe is indeed on the schedule. Indeed, the Japanese also know that we the new RX-7 for the first time will see during the Tokyo Motor Show in 2017, so we will still have about 2.5 years of patience.

Mazda played, incidentally, with the idea of the new coupe with wankel engine to mention to the Cosmo Sport. That car is celebrating in 2017 namely, his fiftieth birthday and was in his birth the first Mazda with a rotary engine. The RX-7 would, however, appeal to a younger audience and for that reason a larger chance to have a large sales volume to be.
