Exterior Features
Photos of the exterior of the 2011 Mazda RX-7 has not been released yet, but the new Mazda is expected to be built on the Mazda MX-5 platform. The vehicle is likely to have aerodynamic, sportscar-like styling. It is likely to have a long hood and a short deck. As it will be the size of an RX-8, it is likely to be able to seat four passengers.
Interior Features
The 2011 Mazda RX-7 is not expected to have a luxurious interior, but it should have an interior that matches that of most mid-level sports cars. Basic features such as air conditioning, cruise control, and a CD player are likely to be standard. Options and upgraded trim levels should include features like leather upholstery, keyless entry, heated seats, and a navigation system. The interior is probably going to be able to seat four, with a small back seat; it might seat two. More information will become apparent as this vehicle approaches its release date.
Performance
Performance on the 2011 Mazda RX-7 will undoubtedly be excellent, with “zoom zoom” to it, and should be fun to drive. It should be fast and agile. Transmission choices should include a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. More details should be apparent as this vehicle gets closer to its release date.
