awww yeah, that is awesome... if you don't like the body, just give it time, the concept and early models of the 350z looked like a platapus beaten with a bat...

Sorry, I don't believe it. It's just speculation and looks like a fan-made drawing. So, I think that story is BS. The RX-8 is a pretty sexy machine in itself but is dieing for a set of turbo's. I mean, they dyno under 180hp, that's pretty weak. But still, there's a black one running around here and my heart stops each time. I definately need to get my hands on one, if only for a test-drive.

no its true...its in this months road and track page 49


it says that there will probably be two different models
one with the rx-8's 250 hp engine
and another with a turbo rotary with up to 300 hp

it says that the price will be 30-35k depending on the success of the rx-8

Wrong......its more like 220 for the automatic and 270 for the stick....go look at mazda's website......if the site is lying and it does dyno at 180 then thats false advertisement and mazda would be sued........and i doubt they'd over rate a car knowing they could be sued

if they do release a new s2000 type car it wont be called the s1000......that wouldnt make sence since they already have an s500 and s800

it's a RX-8 with a body kit basically (too lazy to read anything about stats)
I don't think they would call it an RX-7 since it is now an RX-8, thats like deevolution if there is such a word, I don't think they would do that.
still its a nice looking car
