Mazda RX-9 Concept
Hard to think why this new Mazda concept earned the right to use the "RX" nomenclature since it doesn't have a rotary engine (or maybe it does and they just didn't mention it). HOWEVER, what it does have is more than enough to ignore the naming scheme weirdness.
The RX-9 concept is a hybrid sports car using a wafer-thin electric motor giving the vehicle a very flat appearance. The slick skin features electrostatic collectors that collect electrical charges that build up on the exterior panels and divert that energy to the batteries. Even more amazing are the new electroactive polymer tires that can change its shape and tread pattern based on the terrain. The tires can go flat to smooth, knobby to grippy, or ride extra high for low rolling resistance to really increase fuel economy.
