I think the rotary should have been used in all MX5s. The high revving, lightweight, compact design was perfect for the little roadster. And with mass production, improvements would surely have followed.
The Rotary was a fantastic engine for circuit racing, and you know what I don't care about emissions, and I don't care about the government so bring it back Mazda and not as a stupid range extender, the battery is supposed to be the engines bitch
You know, perhaps I might sound delusional but at times I always think that a well built rotary engine could actually defeat an electric car since it's already rotational mass

Definitely would have been awesome but I don't think there would have been as many original mx-5s on the road as there are today lol

A gas car will easily beat an electric car in a race, however rotarys aren't good with drag racing due too little low end torque
