It sure is nice... mmmmm...

im going to buy one when there released

 

They are a F@#$$ nice car... and with a rotary that puts out 250hp (at the engine not at the wheels right?)... it will definitly have a lot of power with a few simple mods.

But I think that Mazda should have made 2 versions of the RX-8 one a four door kind of luxury vehicle and the other a 2 seater sports vehicle. I think the whole idea of couninuing the line of having 2 seater rotaries is what helps to make these cars unique. Either way I think the introduction of the RX-8 will perhaps help to change people and other car manufactor's views on Rotary engines (better power for the ammount of weight and fuel usage they have, and they are more reliable with fewer moving parts) I really do hope that the RX-8 helps a new generation of people to discover the love of rotary haha

It looks kinda "riced" out.

 

Yeah, it looks kinda like a riced out del sol or something. Oh well, It's not mazdaspeeds fault that the rx-8 is so pudgy. I will hold out for a fourth gen rx7 (hopefully).

 

Actually, I guess that side shot in the Auto Salon thread looks alright I guess.

 

Suicide doors rock!

 

lets all hope it sells good and then Mazda decide to make a new RX-7 or TURBO RX-8

I guess it only a dream

 

oh...oh...ohhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

it's the rotary enthusist's wet dream

 

OMFG that's nice!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH i'mma tell my daddy to buy one

 

that thing's a freakin beauty i just saw a bigger pic

 

I think they are really cool looking but did you know as it stands there are no power upgrades to it.

 

I think the pictures are an improvement but i will
wait to see the car in person first.
I do know that performance upgrages are being developed by one of the oldest and best rotary
shops in the world! Intakes, exhaust and suspension.
hint hint GTO class win at the Daytona24
