The Mazda RX-9 concept has been designed by Joseph Robinson as a vehicle built with performance and style in mind to help celebrate the brand's Japanese heritage. The vehicle features a crouching tiger-like design that hugs the ground and emulates the aesthetic of a tiger in its pre-pounce formation with a low front and slightly raised rear. This is further accentuated with headlights that create a slightly menacing aesthetic that looks like jungle cat eyes in the dark.
The Mazda RX-9 concept is designed as a halo performance vehicle that features a hybrid mid-engine setup that features an electric motor that has been paired with Renesis rotary engine. This helps to make the vehicle an angular yet efficient transportation solution that could one day hit the city streets.
