Dear Gran Turismo fanatics, remember RE Amemiya? To jog your memory, the tuning house is now 50 years old and specializes in souping up rotary-powered Mazdas and sending them off to do battle in various Japanese motorsport tracks (like the Super
The flagship Mazda sports car we’ve all been wishing for
The world has been without a flagship Mazda sports car for far too long. While the Japanese automaker is best known for offering wonderful driving dynamics, there's only one true sports car in its range. That lone model is the MX-
Rotary engine+electric motor+rear-wheel-drive=all sorts of fun
A car company has exclusively revealed to TopGear.com how it wants to build...a new car. A shocking revelation, yes, even more so here because the car this car company really wants to build is one inspired by a proper Japanese

Big plans ahead
Planning for an all-new model doesn't just takes months. If we were to include research, development, and further testing, it can take as much as five to ten years, depending on what kind of car an automaker is set
It’s about time!
Though Mazda's Japan Mobility Show stand was awash with MX-5 messaging-even going so far as showcasing a mint Mk1-this stunning new concept coupe instead doffs its cap to the Mazda RX-7. About. Time.Welcome to the classiest

We've all heard the story before: Mazda wants to revive the rotary engine. Ever since the RX-8 was dropped over a decade ago, the company vowed to revive the concept of a rotary-powered sports car. Eleven years have passed

In simple (verging on simplistic) terms, it's an engine with one or more rotors that rotate - go figure - instead of pistons that reciprocate. The basic principles of internal combustion - suck, squeeze, bang, blow - still apply, but the method by which this
Yay or nay?
Confused? We don't blame you. Is it a Toyota Supra A80 that's undergone a butt transplant or a Mazda RX-7 that's undergone a face swap?We'll save you a sleepless night and give you the answer: It'

Yes...at a cost
Ken Block has found a pretty neat way to keep busy since turning over Gymkhana duties to fellow tire shredder Travis Pastrana: Taking on anything and everything behind the wheel of the legendary Hoonicorn V2.Since Hoonigan started its Hoonicorn vs. the

What's your fondest memory with this brand?
The Australian bush fire, Taal Volcano's eruption, World War III scares, Kobe Bryant's passing... yep, we think it's safe to say 2020 is off to a pretty rough start. Still, one hiccup after another doesn't mean there aren'

Hot damn
The paint job and Pandem bodykit are enough to give this RX-7 stares (plus the fact that it's an RX-7), but for us, the real highlight of this car is the three-rotor 20B sitting in the engine bay.

Useful for overtaking, slowing down, and a number of other situations

Oh, how we wish this was available here
Aside from the Honda Civic Type R, Honda has made this Honda Civic Sport edition available with a manual transmission. Would you want this trim here in the Philippines?These guys live in the Amish capital of the world, so when one

It’s a sight to see
Alright, so underglow is one of those modifications that not many car guys would attempt. Some builds can look tacky if the underglow doesn't suit the car, and often times, owners would rather spend their money on other modifications. But when
