The Toyota Supra and Mazda CX-9 are both super cars from their respective automakers that are now being prepared for 2018. Fans and enthusiasts are interested to see how Toyota Supra versus Mazda RX-9 will turn out when both super cars enter the market.
The Two Warriors
According to Motoring Crunch, Toyota has already announced its plans of developing the new Supra together with BMW. In addition, the two automakers will also team up in the development of the upcoming BMW Z5. Mazda on the other hand is in the process of developing a new rotary engine for the RX-9. It was mentioned in the same report that if the automaker succeeds in its endeavor, the battle between Toyota Supra and Mazda RX-9 may actually happen.
The Battle Of Power
Morning News USA reported that the 2017 Toyota Supra will come equipped with a 3.0-liter Twin-Turbo V6 engine that can deliver 400 horsepower. This will allow the Supra to go from zero to 60 miles per hour in less than four seconds with speed maxing out at 155 miles per hour. The 2018 Mazda RX-9 on the other hand is said to be powered with a 1.6-liter SkyActive-R Wankel engine but there was no information mentioned regarding the extent of the capabilities of its engine as of yet. While this may come as a disappointment to some, it will certainly make it more exciting for others as the latter may be hiding a secret weapon.
The Battle Of Beauty
While being powerful is certainly among the big factors to consider in such a battle, aesthetic value cannot be counted out of the equation. Given how "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" as they say, this criterion will be left to be decided by the buyers, fans and enthusiasts.
Toyota Supra versus Mazda RX-9, A Battle For The Ages
The 2018 Toyota Supra versus Mazda RX-9 will certainly be nothing less than a battle for the ages. However, given the fact that both road warriors are still making their preparations, fans and enthusiasts will simply have to wait a little longer to see if this dream battle comes to pass.
