Sky active? So does that mean its a piston engine:(? Or are they releasing a rotary under their skyactive brand?

Welcome to 2011 Grant

As noted by Autoblog, the tweet is a naturally spartan form of communication, even in Japanese. But our favorite machine translators tell us that it\'s not so much the character count as it is the official stance that\'s limiting the content about the next rotary.

The tweet starts with a thank-you to fans of the RX-8 and the rotary, and goes on to say that Mazda is "zealously developing" the next generation of the rotary engine--with the benefit of its Skyactiv fuel/emissions technology, closing with another thanks for the continued support.

Presumably it will be the flagship car for the laser ignition tech as well?

marf · February 27, 2013, 02:57:52 PM

How cool would that be, laser powered rotary.

I know I\'m amazing but I can\'t be expected to know everything Marf;)

Brett · February 27, 2013, 03:00:58 PM

Several companies have laser ignition working, faster and more complete ignition is the path to efficiency...

Grant Monkhouse · February 27, 2013, 03:01:17 PM

Think I might save up enough cooler to buy one

Will66 · February 27, 2013, 04:58:03 PM

Time to start saving I think!

My "spy" has sent me this as the images to go with the announcement which is the Kabura concept

Obviously I dont expect it to look the same but if you think back to the Evlolve (pictured below) which became the RX-8, I would expect it to look something fairly close

Grant Monkhouse · February 27, 2013, 07:47:13 PM

Wasn\'t that branded the rx9? It\'s very 370z, if the front became a little more aggressive then I\'m in:D

Great news! I hope this wipes the floor with the overpriced nonsense that is the GT86!
