The Mazda RX-8 is the true successor to the RX-7 and, like its predecessors in the RX range, is powered by a rotary Wankel engine. Unfortunately, it was discontinued as of the 2012 model year and removed from the European market in 2010 after the car failed to meet emissions standards. Mitsubishi Motors Japan designer Maximilian Schnider gives us his take on a possible RX-10 Vision Longtail hypercar.

Power would come from a turbocharged 2.3L three-rotor engine generating 780 hp combined with two electric motors powering the front axle for a combined output of 1,030 hp, enabling it to hit 62 mph in 2.5 seconds, while topping out at 265 mph. It would boast a mid-engine layout and has a rear that draws inspiration from the McLaren F1 GTR Longtail.
