amazing what a pencil can do in the 1/4 mile

heehee The RX-7 rotaries weren't the most reliable engines in the world, were they? Maybe some of the new high-tech materials will do better.

I'll belive it when I see it. To all those band wagoners jumping ship....traders!

Like the front but the rest looks like it is trying too hard.

:iagree:
I second this motion

I had fun with my 82 RX7 until I had to get the carb rebuilt and shortly thereafter blowing the apex seals. Traded it for a nissan frontier and been a nissan fan since. The wankel is a powerful engine but they don't last very long.

With all the time Mazda has had over the years, lets hope they figure out the reliability issues and gas consumption the 13B engine had with this new 16X rotary.

I had an '87 rx-7... A blast to drive, obviously when it was running and not in the shop getting the engine or transmission replaced :shakes head:

^ True story ^

:wtf2:

Concept. Will see 50% of it on production.

Melvin! My friend, good to see you around :hello:

Lots of people are getting at the reliability of the Rx. It was not too reliable and needed a quart of oil everytime I filled up my tank. But the RX 7 was the most balanced FR platform I've ever driven. It wasn't nose heavy, it cornered like a star. It was pretty damn fast for only 255hp. It was a sick car.

Not to mention it was the most exotic looking of all affordable sports cars back then. All that car needs are design & metal quality updates, it doesnt even need a full redesign and it's 21 years old in design. IMHO It's the most timeless affordable sports car in recent history.

By the time this Sh*t goes to production line I would possibly afford to buy a used GTR or a ZO6 C7.

With that I'am a happy camper!

looking at how fugly their mx5 turned out in production form, i dont think the concept rendering(?) actual proto(?) is even close to wat it might really look like at the end.

That's funny, I think this rendering looks fugly while the new Miata came out awesome!
