Specifications
The design of the Iconic SP was inspired by the FD Mazda RX-7.[2] The car uses a two-rotor Rotary-EV system that uses a rotary engine that can use a variety of fuels, including hydrogen, making it virtually carbon neutral and also capable of supplying power to external sources.[3] By placing the engine closer to the center of the vehicle, a low bonnet has been achieved, and the vehicle itself has a low center of gravity with even weight distribution front and rear. The Iconic SP also features pop-up headlights.[4][5]
