What sets this concept apart is its ability to run on various fuel sources, including hydrogen. This flexibility allows it to generate electricity in a “carbon-neutral” manner. The small rotary engine is positioned in the middle of the car to achieve a 50:50 weight distribution and serves as a generator for the batteries (the battery size remains undisclosed). These batteries, in turn, power a set of electric motors. The concept boasts a power output of 370PS or approximately 365bhp, reminiscent of the high-performance RX-7 models. With a weight of 1,450kg, the Iconic SP has an impressive power-to-weight ratio.
Placing the engine in the middle of the vehicle design results in an exceptionally low hood, while its sleek, curvaceous silhouette sets it apart from the current Mazda lineup. It’s lower, longer, and wider than the current MX-5, hinting at a distinctive driving experience for enthusiasts.
