I read the full featured article on RX-8 in road and track.

All what I can say that this RX-8 would be hot seller.

It would eat the S2000 sales... Oh well.. The future coupe or the hard top version.

The nice thing it seats 4 as the CLS and has almost the same top power and rear wheel drive and 50/50 balance.

It is nice from Mazda... The Turbo version would be a monster too.

Note that It has 1.3L engine only!

 

Translation:

All that I can say is that the RX-8 will be a hot seller.

 

rotary again?

 

I don't think it will sell great unless it is kept under 25k. The car is great looking though, are they coming out with a 2 seater RX7 turbo?

 

Yup it will be a rotary engine.

 

all of the above and its suposed to be the most efficient rotary EVER!

the new exhaust port design is by far the best thing to happen to the wankel since it inception. also the overall car is AMAZING Mazda out did themselves if you ask me.. Although my understading is mazda had no plans to turbo the new 13b due to the problems with the FD and the Turbo II. But even in NA form its making more HP than the old turbo FD and it makes more torque than any wankel previously (including the tri rotar's in the cosmo and racing applications (except maybe the 12G since it was not a production motor designed purly for race))


I want one! (wait till the Mazda Performace Series version of this car comes out! :P

 

when will the rx8 start selling? any exact date?
