Mazda appears to be working on a high-end sports coupe, according to patent filings in Japan. This goes much deeper than the typical model name trademark application, as it includes many intricate illustrations detailing an aluminum spaceframe structure. From what we can glean in the few depicting the exterior, though, it looks surprisingly close to the 2015 RX-Vision concept.
The patent filings, discovered by Taku2-4855, show the rear half of what is clearly a two-door car. Its C-pillar and taillight notch look very similar to the gorgeous RX-Vision concept. The rear haunches, though look a bit more subdued, an inevitability when translating such a low-slung concept to production reality.
