Ehmmm... a nice ride for the X-man

 

whats the price?. will it be similar to the 350z?

 

around $30,000 Loaded

 

Too bad Ford owns Mazda. It must have "o" rings.

 

FUGLY!!!

 

Bad-ass. It's even better in RED

 

wow i wonder if its listed as a 4 door under insurance?

 

I see 4 doors so it should be 4-doors... , no ?

 

i liked it the first time, when it was called the S2K

 

Rotary to boot!

 

Still looks like a concept car to me...

 

I rather have the Z over the RX8. I think it looks much better. I also don't like the fact that Mazda still uses rotary engines.

spiro

 

I want my RX7 back!!! Rotary rulez!!

 

Yeah, looks like the S2K from the front and rear...just changed the side by putting 4 doors in (like Saturn)...so this is the marriage of a Honda and a Saturn...hehe.

 

Rotaries are so much fun to drive. No damn torque but they are so smooth to rev out. That car is destined to be a rattle trap though. With no solid B pillar to anchor the door closing point it will end up being a source for major noises after 30k miles or so. I also can't believe this thing would do well in crash tests. No support in a side impact, and from the front it seems like the top would just buckle.

 

U see the last pic, the big thick black thing is your B Pillar... once the door is closed it is like your car with a B pillar.

 

nashua there is no B-pillar. that is simply the frame of each door.

there is nothing keeping the two doors together... a bit scary.

it should at least have something like the 3-series where a steel bar secures the door.


regardless... i love the car... think its hot as hell. like it more then the Z

 

id die in that car and feel like a pimp

 

The engine specs are close also:

RX-8: 250 hp at 8500 rpm and 159 ft-lbs at 7500 rpm

S2K: 240 hp at 8300 rpm and 153 ft-lbs at 7500 rpm

 

Imagine if they pulled a rabbit and it is 300 HP and some 180lbft of torque...

 

Who me? LOL I dont get it explain plz... lol

 

I see the pictures and just think of the hideous zoom, zooom zoom commercials...

I would drive it though

 

That thing is sweet. What exactly is the difference between a rotery engine and a regular engine...for us not to smart with the technical side of things people...

Wow 1.3 leter....thats like 192 HP per leter!!!

 

so i guess this RX8broke S2000's L/HP record????

that shit is sweet...... i would take this over 350z cuz it has less liter and save more gas and *Faster* hahahahhaha

 

Yeah, it looks like it...but they had to use a rotary engine to do it. S2K still holds the record for cylinder engines.

Actually, I'd still choose the 350Z. I just find this car fugly for some reason.

 

Looks nice. The rear looks like a S2K. The vents look like they're from the RSX. Seats and guage pod look like the 350z.

 

Why do the A.C vents look exactly like the vents on the RSX?!?!

 

Better
