That's pretty fascinating. I am surprised about the generator running all the time. It's a 20kwh battery pack, which should be more than sufficient for short distances. The ICE Mazda2 weighs about 2300lbs and they're saying this version weighs 2900lbs. I guess the weight gain isn't abnormal but it would be nice to see pictures of the rest of the setup. Including the rear mounted rotary.

Mazda needs to use this design for future models. They can make the economy cars silent and the sports cars noiser.
