Nineteen eighty's, damnit! The RX-01 concept looks like a Subaru Aclyone.

LoL me either. Every time I watch the video I kept expecting it to choke and stall in the middle of the water..... I wonder how that blistering hot turbo manifold liked getting splashed with water.

The Rx-01 concept looks better than the rx-8 IMHO. The front end looks a bit like the last Cosmo model from some angles.

RX-01 was not the precursor to the RX-8. That was called the RX-Evolv. The RX-01 was just after/during the FD being in production. It was a return to a small light rotary powered sports car. It was the 'new' RX-7. The evolv and RX-01 look nothing alike. The dimensions are totally different.

Evolv aka RX-8: http://images.google.com/images?svnu...lv&btnG=Search

Don't like it...
Front definitly inspired the RX 8 frontend treatment..
Doors are from an FD....
Rear looks like it came from the Ford Escort ZX3.

well, im not too fond of the rear, but that really could have been a cool MR sports car for mazda... somthing like a 2nd gen MR2... I think that was FR, but it would have made a better MR...

I agree, rear looks like a Cross between the Escort and a 2nd Gen Eclipse...

That RX-01 was brillant, such a shame it never made it to production.

Light as a Miata and powered by a 220 HP Renesis, it would get similar performance to an FD without the trouble of dual turbos. I also really liked the front end styling, particularly the huge front spoiler. It would have meant a return to form for the RX-7, as a lightweight simple sports car for the masses.

Ah well, the 8 isn't a bad car either.
