- The Mazda Iconic SP (next-gen MX5)is a new type of compact sports car concept. This powertrain features Mazda 's unique two-rotor rotary EV system, which remains compact and thus offers a high degree of layout flexibility, enabling the concept model to have a low center of gravity to enhance driving performance.

Looks great... no stupid pointless lines, creases, panel gaps and fake vent everywhere. Pure design.
Where are the hood and trunk cut lines?
@@rlsedition there is some lines at the bonnet but your right bout the trunk i think they did some sort of mid engine configuration with the battery at the back
@@arthurluzitano6998 Yes, on second look I can see some hood cut lines, but with the tightest lines ever on a car.
lines are never stupid or pointless
@@Pertev777 Disagree. Some car makers have gone bonkers with lines and creases. Yes, it's all about the look, but you can go too far with those, and many have done so.
Feels like Mazda's paying homage to their legacy while ushering in a new era of design. Anyone else getting nostalgic vibes but still feeling like they're looking into the future? 🔮✨
Yea this felt like a Rx7 redux kinda for me.
Or an MX3 😂
Exactly it looks like their current era design fused with old era
I owned an FD. This is the second car I've listed after since.
The first was the Tesla roadster 2.0. the designer, Franz, led the Mazda Furai concepts.
Hope they make this one!
As a car guy I was never too big on Mazda. I mean I liked the Rx7, rx8 and some gens of the Miata but as someone who’s never been big on Mazda I can say this is one of the best modern car designs in a while..hopefully they don’t butcher the production version in comparison to the concept like most manufacturers do.
Check out Mazda's 2022 vision study
sounds like you have never driven one
@@westendthug1408 I haven’t but I’m very picky when it comes to cars and most of my favorite cars are not your typical cars that everyone else wants. I also never discredited Mazda in anyway I just said I was never too big on them. There’s multiple factors that go into what cars I buy which is why picking the right one for me isn’t as simple as it may be for other people. Without having driven a Mazda before I already know that they’ve made plenty of fun and capable cars
@@T5_T-Rell You're right. My 1999 Mazda Miata has never had a breakdown!
Thanks to my Genius Sweet Brother, which replaced everything in it. Also keeps the maintenance up before it's due! He's my Angel.
That's if Mazda allows the car to become a production model. If not, it's going to remain a concept.
I would love to see this concept and RX-Vision become production cars.
One of the best looking cars ever designed. Never imagined they could top the design of the RX-7, but this is just astonishing 😮
You should look up the other two concepts Mazda put out. Vision Coupe and RX Vision
Front end and rear end remind me of a Lotus Elise. The absence of a rear quarter window, leading to the rear hatch, remind me of the last generation RX-7. I like how clean the car is, just smoothness. The way the doors open just adds that extra specialness.
This thing is drop dead gorgeous. Hope it makes it to production at a semi affordable price
Mazda never disappoints us with their design.
I just hope this doesn't end as the Mazda furai.
On fire? :)
not going to talk about rx 9 in 2015?
That was epic
@@lensoprezole5322 Looks like a future Miata. Look up the Mazda RX Vision
Not a hard line to be found, so fluid! Looks light and dainty, I love it! The future of sports cars is bright with Mazda and Japanese philosophy at the helm.
if everything could be carried over into production this will be huge..the details make it for me in this. even though the name doesn't imply the proportions are reminiscent to the legacy of the rx-7..Mazda if you have the balls to bring this to market pls keep it intact the details are what make this well proportioned car. pls don't loose the swing up doors and flip up lights..🙏🙏
And the perfect fitment on the wheels.
Why do they change it in production, you get tucked in very high suspension.
RX-7-esque body lines 👀
Yep!!!! No resemblance of any Miata MX5. Its just some bodged up exotic Mazda sports concept car....meaningless.
Yes, RX7 plus spoiler fender 💯 longer front hood stretches
Yes, it looks like a real sports car. Remember it’s still just a concept car, and I’ll be very surprised if it looks quite that sleek if and when it does get released.
Might've been the RX9
Never been a fan of Mazda designs, but this is awesomely beautiful! This will turn me into a Mazda fan is they produce it! Kudos to Mazda design team!
That exterior design is freakin' smooth! Like literally smooth!
Really exceptional, exquisite design. Hats off to the artist/sculptors who imagined and then realized this dream. Hope to see it on the road.
(I have a 2023 Mazda 3 and look at it lovingly every day. This Ionic SP is the natural evolution of that aesthetic.)
If this is going to be for sale, you'll see it coming out of my driveway .
Gorgeous design!
Bravo Mazda Designers!
Beautiful styling - I love how we are finally returning to sleek '70s style body shapes instead of bulbous boring meeses.
Beautiful. Around a track. Be fun, like a comfortable go-kart. The rotary as an EV range extender might be something special. Always liked those.
The profile of this car with the doors open is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for making a car that doesn’t look bloated and plastic. Bravo Mazda!
in the ocean of SUV's, this is a driver's joy car
I'm honestly completely flabbergasted by how beautiful this design is... and it has SO many lines from the RX-7 FD! I have been struggling to let my 99' Miata go and find a different car, but now I think I will be just fine... I always wanted the RX7 FD, and I love the Caterham EV1. This looks like a perfect hybrid between the two. I can't wait to buy one, I have never been so excited for a new car.
I honestly love it. Sleek, simple, and elegant. I want to build one into a drift car
I really do hope it makes it into production even though they're saying it's not coming out anytime soon...
My only concern is the Layout of the 2 Rotor Wankel Rotary Engine-Generator. I really do hope that it has either a Front Longitudinal RWD or Mid Longitudinal RWD Layout...for a perfectly Symmetrical RWD Setup...now that my dear friends, would be the ultimate dream car of many car enthusiasts...
So it is something like MX30Rev? It runs by the electric motor from the battery and rotary is only used for charging the batteries?
@@mnap89 Yes, that's what I'm afraid of... I truly welcome the Serial Hybrid architecture...but I just that they change the Layout from Front Transverse to Front Longitudinal for a perfectly Symmetrical Layout...
pop up headlamps... take my money
Are they pop ups or covers?
@@The50d 03:47
This is the Mazda sports car I have been waiting for. My 3rd Gen RX7 will finally have a new rotary friend!
Lucky u
@@lensoprezole5322 i don't understand the idea of having a rotary engine only for charging the batteries. I find it stupid
THE POPPUP HEADLIGHTS ARE BACK??!? YOU HAVE ME SOLD!!
AND A ROTARY ENGINE??!? Duuuude. This thing is going to be seriously awesome. The design is just so insanely beautiful!!
@@lensoprezole5322is it actually a rx-9 or u just call it that way cause it looks like a rx-7 fd
amazing design. I hope the small popup headlights make it into production - that would be absolutely incredible! @3:47
Sadly all the stunning details of this probably won't make it into production. Mazda make stunning concepts, like Subaru, that vanish into thin air.
Would be nice. I thought maybe the covers retracted fully but flipped up like that I can't see how they'd be legal. Maybe it's a complexity they wouldn't want to bother with in a production version.
I like the sense of the lights giving the vehicle the feeling of being alive and a bit of theatre.
Most likely not due to regulations in the EU (they're not necessarily illegal in the US as far as i know).
Either that or they'll make a NA only model with the pop-ups...but having different versions would inflate the production costs. Either that or they won't sell it in the EU which is unlikely.
Never going to happen
beautiful but completely Useless : heavy.... too powerful ....in a world that want you to drive no more than 50 mph = RIDICOLOUS!!! It's a pity because it is really attratctive.
Truly stunning!
Es muy hermoso este diseño. Ojalá este diseño pace a producción sin modificaciones en su carrocería.
정말 보면볼수록 충격적이네.. 여태 본 차중에 디자인으로 이렇게까지 날 충격받게한 차는 처음인거 같아요. 아름답습니다… 마치 이상형의 여신을 본거 같아요 한눈에 반한다는게 이런거군요..😢
@@lensoprezole5322 I don't like the designs of Koenigsegg, Lamborghini, and Ferrari because they are too cluttered and unnecessarily flashy. However, the design of this car showcases the essence of design through purity and simplicity. Even in my dreams, I want to ride this car.
와~~!!!! 대박!!!!😮 이대로 상용차로 만들어주세요 제발 ㅠㅠ 이차 옆에 있으면 페라리도 오징어네. 진짜 너무너무 아름답고 멋집니다.
Those doors are like ladybug wings, this car has a vibe
Looks more like a future RX9 than a MX5. The twin, auxiliary, rotary engines seem to aim at that direction
For rx9 the made mazda rx vision, it has bigger dimensions just like the previous rx's, this has smaller body which i think is very suitable for mx
@@kejorafall That was 8 years ago. Now it´s sadly all electric. The rx vision concept was meant to be petrol powered. I think this is an evolution of that design, the next RX9, with an electric engine, and 2 auxiliary rotary engines to justify keeping the
RX name on it. It´s smaller so weight doesn´t spoil the handling. The MX5 has never had rotary engines. Besides, this concept is a coupe, not a roadster.
I never ever would have expected Mazda to bring back the rotary engine in a car that was of the RX line, but it makes so much sense from a balance and logitics standpoint to use it in the MX line
People have been doing rotary swaps on the Miata for years, and Mazda finally decided to do it themselves
Bravo
Never thought I would see a Miatas price tag at 120k
it's not an mx-5 but iconic... different mazda for rich people, i think they want to compete on the amll market too now, the miata will come, the same as ever i think
Mazda have never once said it was an MX5... its the stupid motoring journalists and publishers making that irrelevant connection.
❤
@@NemoticonTo be fair, Mazda is literally showing this concept in an event centered around the miata. They went out of their way to make this a mx5 themed show. Not to mention the next generation mx-5 isn't far off.
Looks more like the Furai at the front with MX-5 rear end styling.
If this goes into production they won't be able to make enough of them ! That would be a massive seller !
Yeah they’re not building that. But great design!
This is the concept for the next gen MX-5/Miata. Mazda has a very good reputation for having concept vehicles that become future models, get made into production models.
RX-Vision from 2015 is a notable exception which got canned. But almost all of their concept cars have made it more or less, to the production line.
@@inodesnet This is not related to the next-gen MX-5. It has a fixed roof, it's longer, it's way heavier, and in general it's way more of a 'far-out' concept. The next-gen Miata will still be a traditionally light ICE car and isn't as far out as this study is aiming for.
@@inodesnet what releases won't be anything like this. think of the supra concept and what we actually got. nothing alike.
@@flowmastaflam Toyota and Mazda tackle concepts very differently. Mazda is the only mass producing car company that creates clay models up to full size, then scans in the models rather than designing them from drawings into CAD then building full scale mockups. They primarily do their main future models this way through concepts at first.
Not all concepts make it all the way through, but look at the concepts for every Mazda models and you'll note there is a strong correlation between concept and production.
Nissan often does a similar thing of very close concept to production.
Toyota and Honda on the other hand usually don't.
Must say though, I have double checked the dimensions and they don't align really with a MX-5. Unless it is MX-5 sized, I have doubts for production mainly because not many mass production car makers have room for two sports cars without collaborations, and Mazda doesn't like collaborations after being restrained by their last partnership.
The RX Vision was the car of the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. I was gorgeous but never made production.
@@teunje i have to correct you on one thing, this is a light car, 3100 lbs light and its a hybrid the next generation mx5 will be somewhere around this number too with all the safety and emission regulation stuff although i do agree its not an mx5 at all
Best car design in last decade for sure!
The unveiling people nearly fell over! Be careful guys 😀
Mazda absolutely hit it outta the park with the styling on this.
Also POPUPS!!!!!!!!!
I just love Mazda!!!
Finally, a car designed with more tools than just a straight ruler!
It looks like a brand new sports car inspired by the Miata and the RX-7 at the same time, but this won't be the next Miata, I believe.
Gorgeous design, futuristic and nostalgic at the same and the taillights making a reference to the NB Miata is a nice touch.
RX-5
Although I'm not a big fan of the front/tail light designs I do really like the structure of the look of the design where its not obnoxious to look at. While like you said, it has resemblance of one of their most iconic cars they've made. I sure hope car manufacturers especially like Toyota and honda to stop the unnecessary plastic crap design that doesn't need to be over done or be completely there but not even functional. Although so far honda did well with designing their newest civic and Toyota with their GR86.
I'm blown. Wow.
Looks like a 3d render. Beautiful design, smooth curves. I will miss the sliding roof tho...
Hi, I hope they don't make the Mistake like the NSX by not having a targa like it was known for*(They still didn't learn after the refresh while the C8 Crushed it*)or at least have the adjustable top like the current one. Thanks -Smith 'Hot Wheels guy'Die cast Bham Al
They said that they made it with a convertible in mind so the cuts and lines are already there. They just need to implement. You can see a little by the top of the A pillar that it does look like it could very well be a convertible but this one happens to be a coupe. I like the coupe though, it looks fire 🔥!
@@mihaiserbanescu8676 Absolutely, looks gorgeous as it is. And you could be right too about that possibility.
The clean design lines, specially in the front and in this color, remind me of the prototype Alfa Romeo "2uettotanta". I love this.
waaauw, that looks stunning. RX7 vibes!! I hope they make a RX7 too that has this design language
Buts its not......a new RX7
Truly a gorgeous car! Mazda out did them selves just like the rx7's!
I to is the next RX-7, not an MX-5
I absolutely love it. I want one.
What a beauty
Timeless,classy,that’s all.
WOW! This car was actually designed by a car designer!
Unlike many/most modern cars which have three different designs, slapped on top of each other - in a hideous mishmash which looks like a car ate another car. I've had four amazing Mazda rotaries over the years, and now it looks like there could be another Mazda in my future. :)
Looks like an fd, Elise, and Miata smashed together. I like it
Well done, Mazda! I really like the callback to the RX-7 in the door and B-pillar
What a machine! 😮
That’s a good looking car! I see TVR, viper, corvette and mx5 all in the design!
Gorgeous design!
It’s got POP-UP’s!!! ❤
It looks more like an RX-7 (FD) than a Miata though.. And there was also an RX-7 (FD) SP edition which could mean that this is indeed an RX and not a Miata.
This is the best looking man made thing I have seen in a decade.
@@lensoprezole5322 Koenigsegg has to sacrifice some beauty for performance. They are purposeful and aggressive but like a Hayabusa, they aren't really beautiful. This Mazda concept is purely about visual appeal.
Love you Mazda again - thanks for bringing back the best engine ever produced by Mazda the Rotary + thanks for making 13b parts still - I wish you could 12a parts run as well!
Para mí el rotativo es el mejor motor para lo que no lo conocen es lo peor para mí es lo mejor
Looks like a modern Rx7. I love it
This looks really great! Then again, so did the ND concepts, and they were significantly diluted for production. I would love to see pop-up headlights make a comeback!
Or they maybe could skirt the US restrictions by having them flip from hidden to an integrated circular headlight flush to the surface.
This is a car worth buying.
This is the most beautiful car I ever seen. Im trying to get the cues for this design, Im thinking of course RX-7 and RX-8, but also Shelby gr1, Aston Martin DB 10, some lines in the tail of a Lancia Stratoss, and a Ford Gt 40.
It’s a great concept but most beautiful car you have ever seen? Think your over hyping this up lol
If i could i would just stare at this car all day😃
I am captivated by the red color. The color appears to go through the car. It's very deep and saturated.
Mazda has a history of excellent reds. The soul crystal red that we see on Mazda's of today was borne out of a hand painted RX Vision from 2015 Tokyo Motor Show.
Customers requested the colour but Mazda said the hand painted nature of it (non linear, very specific layering) meant it wasn't possible to make available. This was done due to lack of body lines used by all other car makers to break up the body, making painting all that much easier.
The solution in the end was that Mazda gets a mockup mody, gets the mockup hand painted while doing motion capture on the human painters. These motions are then programmed back into the paint robots on a per colour, per model basis.
This makes for some of the best reds for example, but ask any car repair place which colours are the hardest to repair, and the answer will be Mazda's Soul Crystal Red.
It's so hard, it's also one of the few colours that has a LOT of TH-cam tutorials for car repair places teach methods for how to repair.
(just do a search and you'll see what I mean).
So looks great until you crash one.
I know mainly because after I had someone hit my CX-8, the car repair place refused to paint it having someone from Mazda come in to do the job.
soul red never misses
@@ayrtttfilms7249 It's not the "red" I'm impressed with but I'm impressed with the paint technology.
I love how Mazda have made a new car that doesn't look like a fricken spaceship
It's like if the FD and ND2 had an EV baby
?
Fr, i want to see this in production, this would be so sick. Just like this, change absolutely nothing, its so beautiful.
Quelle classe. Bravo les japonnais, vous êtes les meilleurs ❤
I truly wish there’s still ICE option for the amazingly styled body. Or even a hybrid system. EV sports cars are fast, efficient. But mx5 was never about speed or out right performance. It’s always about the emotional connection and mechanical driving pleasure.
This car is hybrid. I wish it had ICE only option, because it's a bit too heavy, at 1453kg. It's also not the next MX-5, from what I can tell, but rather an RX concept (two-rotor rotary engine, pop-up lights like RX-7, full roof, etc).
@@stephenkeen6044 i wouldn’t mind if it’s hybrid in this day and age as long as the weight is somewhat under control and the handling not comprised. Regardless, it’s one of the prettier car coming from Japan for sure.
And being lightweight.
@@barsaf9989 indeed
@@iFumoffu Yes. It's beautiful, most attractive new design I've seen in a long time. It even beats the new Alfa 33 design, in my opinion, although the old 33 Stradale (with single headlight) is still my favourite overall car design ever. Beauty is eternal.
LESS IS MORE EVER !!! THIS IS MAZDA MOOD , THE SIMPLE , CLEAN , ELEGANT LINES OF DESIGNS !! JUST AWESOME !! WELLDONE MAZDA !!
Another EV concept that will never see the light of day
Some solutions could appear in production
@@lensoprezole5322 that might be the only thing about the car that remains upon production model.
MX-30 was a lemon, a total sales flop for Mazda.
From PR 🇵🇷 thanks for this beautiful engine 3 rotor but give thanks to PR 🇵🇷 because we are the best representing your engine 👏
Nice car bur with these if the mazda drivers ego is high i cant imagine when it comes out to market, god may help us
Pure love on first sight! ❤
every youtuber put on whatever tittle they want ...
yeah. Click-bait title! Pisses me off, which is why I've given this a 👎
@@Laz_Arus they dont understand .. like this thing is a Loss in the long run .. you re lsing more money then making in that video
What a beautifully designed car !
Piękna ❤
Love to see that JDM Sports Car are coming back for more and more last few years :)
At 1450kg, it cannot be a Miata.
Great successor of RX-7.
Neither....
Has a rotary range extender and puts out 400hp so yeah, RX-9.
The rear reminds me of a 1980 Vette. This is gonna look absolutely out of this world amazing with a Libertywalk/Rocketbunny bodykit.
RX-7 back from the fucking dead. 💀
Beautiful car, the electric aspect kills it though
It’s not ideal, but compare it to a Porsche Taycan and it shines!
@@mrknoklene 100 percent, also I read further and it turns out it’s a two rotor hybrid so it’s not fully electric. I doubt it will ever make it to the show room but if it does and they focus on the engine shining over the electric aspect it will be one of the best cars it be made in this decade
@@lensoprezole5322 ahh I was worried about it being a generator. Personally I don’t enjoy electric cars driving the plaid felt boring. The acceleration is fun for a bit but it gets old after a while and I just find it boring. I daily a 2003 ep3 and I think it’s a lot more fun. Im not sure if Mazda did a fake manual transmission or some 5 speed auto for the iconic sp but it will probably have one or two speeds which is super boring
Absolutely beautiful
Is a beautifu car... but it seems to have straight out of the 60s, I find it excessively conservative and lacking in innovation. Flaw in imagination.
... Lovely 60s style retro flowing feminine forms!. Also love the modern play on pop-up lights !.(has a air of the Rx7fd about her) (I loved my pop ups, on my aw11!).
Better than Tesla 3
POPUP HEADLIGHTS! Damn that's refreshing to see. Love it.
Finally a Miata with a solid roof!
Wow! That Car is stunning!!! Mazda did an amazing Job!
Brings out a lot of the FD Rx7, looks beautiful. Hope the real thing will look close to this one.
OMG POP UP HEADDLIGHTS!!!!
I've been waiting for a car company to bring back the iconic pop up light design from the 80's and here we have it. Well done Mazda...
Looks like they took an aerodynamicist's "ideal wind tunnel model" of a car and made it a reality. Love this.
Beautiful! Master design.
Look very sharp. Blend with Rx-7 and Mx-5 design. 👍🏻
Believe it or not, I see some late 90's RX-7 design elements in there.
The "Joy of Driving" is synonymous with the "Joy of Living" Can't say it any better.
will it be a turbo or N/A? interesting concept, currently GR Yaris owner
Simply gorgeous!
The styling from every angle reminds me of an updated 1970's Opel GT. I love it.
