At the ongoing Tokyo Motor Show, Mazda has unveiled its highly anticipated RX-Vision concept car, signifying the company's intentions to launch a new range-topping rotary engine-powered sports car.

A front-engine, rear-wheel drive model, the RX-Vision represents Mazda's vision of the future. Powered by a next generation SkyActiv-R rotary engine, the concept could mark the imminent revival of the RX-7 badge. A 2017 production launch will also mark 50 years since Mazda launched its first rotary-powered sports car.

"I look forward to talking with you more about this vision we revealed here today at the Mazda stand," said Mazda's Representative Director, President and CEO Masamichi Kogai. "Mazda will continue to take on new challenges in an effort to build a special bond with our customers and become their one and only brand."
