December 19, 2013 - 5:12 pm ET YOKOHAMA, Japan -- Mazda Motor Corp. has given a new lease on life to its rotary engine in the form of a Mazda2 hatchback reconfigured as an extended-range hybrid.
The prototype runs as an electric vehicle, with an electric motor powering the wheels. But it also gets a gasoline-powered 0.33-liter rotary engine in the rear that generates power to recharge the car’s lithium ion battery when the charge runs low.
