A Fresh Spin on a Rotary Icon

Mazda’s RX-Vision concept, unveiled back in 2015, was a vision of what a future rotary sports car could look like. Sleek, futuristic, and undeniably beautiful, it captured the hearts of rotary lovers everywhere. But it never went into production. That’s where RE Amemiya steps in.

Instead of waiting for Mazda to make a move, RE Amemiya is taking matters into its own hands. They’re not just copying the RX-Vision—they’re reimagining it through their own lens. Picture an FD RX-7 fused with the RX-Vision’s stunning lines, then turned up a notch with RE Amemiya’s signature tuning flair.

Here’s the real kicker: this isn’t just about looks. RE Amemiya is stuffing this reimagined RX-Vision with a 3-rotor rotary engine. For those not fluent in rotary speak, that’s a big deal. More rotors mean more power, and more power means more excitement. Expect that signature rotary howl to come roaring back, now with an extra dose of adrenaline.

This engine choice is a technical decision— and also a love letter to the rotary community. RE Amemiya is making a pretty bold statement I guess: the rotary isn’t dead. In fact, it’s more alive than ever.

Modern Meets Classic

The design of this RX-Vision-inspired build is all about balance. On one hand, it’s unmistakably modern, with sharp, aerodynamic lines and a low, aggressive stance. On the other, it still nods to the RX-7’s iconic heritage, ensuring fans of the original won’t feel left behind.

What’s more, this isn’t a simple one-off. RE Amemiya’s goal is to show what’s possible when you mix rotary nostalgia with cutting-edge design. It’s a car that’s as much about the future as it is about the past.

Why This Build Matters

The rotary engine has always had a cult following, but in recent years, it’s felt like a relic of a bygone era. Projects like this keeps the rotary relevant. They remind us why we fell in love with these high-revving, unconventional engines in the first place.

And let’s not forget the timing. The Tokyo Auto Salon is the perfect stage for RE Amemiya to unveil their masterpiece. It’s a celebration of creativity, innovation, and passion—everything this RX-Vision-inspired build represents.

The Wait Is Almost Over

If you’ve been yearning for something to reignite your love for rotary cars, or just can’t wait ‘til Mazda decides to make the RX-9, this is it. RE Amemiya’s take on the RX-Vision isn’t just a car; it’s a statement. It’s proof that the rotary spirit is alive and well, and it’s ready to roar into the future. January can’t come soon enough.
