so far that seems to be the best looking design I've seen of a new rotary vehicle.. Hope they end up going this route.

whoa, a little competition for the new 480hp GTR!

Im feeling an n/a 3 rotor version of the rensis. around 330hp in a light body could pull some fierce G forces....and a 100,000km powertrain warranty like the rensis, and BAMO its a hit!

It's not even a real Mazda released image... it's just a BS rendering.

Yeap, that's what I thought!

Looks more of an exotic car than average sport car.

Real pic or not... something like that with a 400 hp 3 rotor turbo in it would rock.

If they can get 300 whp NA out of it, I'd be happy for now; the real performance nuts can mess with turbos because we all know they have more potential for big power.
