The gorgeous Iconic SP concept from last year was designed to be easily turned into a production car.
Mazda says the Iconic SP concept was designed to be turned into a production car. The two-door sports car is powered by an extended-range powertrain. A two-rotor Wankel gas engine acts as a generator for the battery, but there is no mechanical connection between the engine and the wheels.
That said, Naohito Saga from the automaker’s planning division, pointed out that the concept was designed with an eventual homologation in mind. “In the development process, everything from the position of the doors and tires to the length of the vehicle, the seating position of the occupants and visibility was meticulously researched before reaching the final specifications,” Saga said.
