This enigma has been making the rounds, with a concept debut at the Tokyo autoshow this month: http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/m...ngined-mazda-sports-car-concept-first-picture
Given the challenges rotary engines face with modern fuel consumption and emission requirements, I'm a little skeptical of it being driven by a rotary. A hybrid/electric with a rotary powered range extender is interesting though. Mazda will have to move that way eventually, so why not? And they already have prototypes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wankel_engine#Range_extender
