2012 Mazda RX7?

370sed

As an RX-8 owner, and a track addict I can tell you, without question, that if this comes to pass, certainly the Z would have something to worry about on track. I mean really ~700lb less weight than the Z, only down ~50HP? The end-goal has been said to be a Porsche Cayman weight sports car with a Rotary engine, at a far nicer price.

But it's a crap shoot as to whether this will ever even be seen even in concept - forget production. It's akin to the holy grail relative to today's RENESIS rotary. So I wouldn't hold my breath, but then again I wouldn't be surprised either, after all, with the demise of the RX-7 everyone thought the rotary was dead..until the RX-8!

What would be required:
1) More power, more torque
2) 10-15% weight savings
3) Better fuel economy
4) Better emmisions
5) Still affordable
