This Iconic SP concept could be the MX-5 of the future
earlier today – alongside the latest MX-5 – the Iconic SP is ‘a compact sports car concept designed to adapt to a new era.’ It underlines Mazda’s commitment to the fizzy sports car, regardless of what’s under the bonnet.Mazda’s design office is on an epic run, and the Iconic SP continues the trend. It’s an electric car underneath, but it’s been penned as classic junior sports car – just like the original MX-5.
However, unlike the rotary range extender in the MX-30 R-EV, Mazda says the powertrain in this car could be adapted to burn a variety of fuels, including hydrogen and possibly e-Fuels. The Iconic SP will be mid-engined: although it’ll use a battery electric motor, its rotary engine will be packaged in the centre of the car for performance reasons.
‘We love the MX-5, and the world loves the MX-5,’ said Mazda President and CEO, Masahiro Moro. ‘We are determined in the age of electrification to keep the joy of driving which the MX-5 represents alive, and the Mazda Iconic SP, with its dual rotary power generator EV powertrain is our dream solution. A dream we will work hard to launch. Mazda will always deliver vehicles that remind people that cars are pure joy and an indispensable part of their lives.
