In-game description
The MAZDA RX-VISION is a concept car announced at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. Based on Mazda's "Kodo - Soul of Motion" design theme, this was a challenge to create the most beautiful FR sportscar that Mazda could come up with. This car is also powered by the next generation rotary engine ""SKYACTIV-R," a dream that Mazda wants to bring to life in the future.
Overcoming numerous technical difficulties, Mazda successfully introduced a commercial rotary engine through the Cosmo Sports back in 1967. Thereafter as the only manufacturer to mass produce rotary engines, they worked to improve output, fuel economy, and durability, and even took the overall victory in the 1991 Le Mans 24 Hour Endurance Race in the 787B.
The MADZA RX-VISION GT3 CONCEPT expresses the design beauty of the base car in the form of a more aggressive race car. To meet the performance requirements of the Gr. 3 class, the design draws from the 787B engine concept, with a 4 rotor engine brought back to life using SKYACTIV technology. This new rotary engine is mounted in a lightweight body to achieve unprecedented performance.

Trivia
- The Mazda RX-Vision GT3 Concept is the second Gr.3 car with more than one default color, after the GT by Citroën Race Car Gr.3.
- It is also the only Gr.3 car with named colors.
- The car's engine startup choice is recycled from Mazda 787B '91.
- Although the original RX-Vision did not have number of installed rotors defined, the car is stated to have four rotors. According to the Mazda official website, it has a 2.6-litre displacement at 2600cc (650x4).
- The car's oval Balance of Performance settings, for some reason, used that of Porsche 911 RSR (991) '17, including a lower rev limit at 8,700 rpm. This was fixed in version 1.60, which also fixed a distorted hood racing number box.
- Two special events were launched to coincide with the car's launch: a special time trial event on Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps (held between May 21 to June 5, 2020), and a livery design contest (held between May 21 to June 15, 2020).
- This car is shown alongside a mysterious blue concept car on the artwork for Gran Turismo 7.
