Mazda’s Iconic SP Concept: A Mystery Between MX-5 and RX Revival

Chief Designer Hints at Concept's Versatility and Rotary-Electric Power

Weighty Differences

Another puzzling aspect is the weight of the Iconic SP concept. It tips the scales at 3,197 pounds, distributed evenly at 50:50 front and rear. In contrast, the Miata is notably lighter, with its heaviest version, the RF with an automatic transmission, weighing in at 2,496 pounds. The RX-8, depending on the version, ranged from 2,886 lbs to 3,051 lbs. This significant weight difference adds to the enigma surrounding the Iconic SP.
