Check it out!!

A Glimpse Of A Future Rotary-Powered Mazda RX-9

No desire for a rotary, lol

In the time it took to read that article, the motor lunched its apex seals. :rofl2:

:ohsnap1:

Looks amazing. Better than a Z.

To bad this is just what an artist wishes Mazda would make.

wow yes please Mazda build it! As a former FD3S owner one of the best cars owned and most unreliable, I would buy one in a heartbeat, I miss the RX :(

You do know this is the 370Z General Discussion Section right?

Please try to keep other cars discussions in the other cars section.

Thanks.

Moved to the correct section!

Please Mazda build this I miss my FD3S I would trade my z for a new RX.

Better than almost anything...gorgeous:iagree:

Great looking car. Will never happen. The RX line, while iconic, was an economic loser for Mazda.

no thank you... had a rx8... no power and nothing but engine trouble... complete engine replacement at 18 months/20,000 miles... drove it for another 20,000 miles and traded it when it started showing the same trouble signs... great looking car but that's it

Mazda/10

Looks great. I would wait for someone to blow up the motor so I can buy the shell and drop a nice LSx.

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!

:iagree: and reliability goes down the drain when people slap on huge single turbos without a tune. My FD dynoed 480rwhp with a tune at 20lbs of boost on a hks t51 single turbo.
Car had over 100k miles when I sold it.

These guys seem pretty sure this is going to happen!

and the mpg was horrific... i averaged a whopping 14.2 mpg over the 4 years i owned my rx8... that's fine if you're sitting on 500 hp but ridiculous for just over 200 hp

RX9 Anyone?

Mazda Puts RX Sports Car on Hold Will Focus on Mainstream Models

I guess add another 10 or so years before they start this project again.

Well that was quick. Just as well anyway. Like all Mazda's itll need another 50 to 70HP to put it where it should have been from the beginning.

3rd genRx7 turbo vs Rx8 = No comparison. I woulda never bought an Rx8.

Anyway, Mazda sold us out AGAIN!
