Cool.... we knew this was coming!

I hope this is a lot cheaper than the convertable, otherwise wouldn't most just by the miata and get a hardtop? Although this will have more power and more rigidity.

Is this the body they might use for the RX-7? hmmmm.

Yep we knew, theres at least 3 other threads which have done this.

It wont be cheaper than the miata, its more exclusive, costs them more to make (as its lower volume) and it'll be better round a track (much stiffer chasy).

Its not the body they'll use for the RX-7, its a low volume modified old sckool miata body, max 1000ish units production.

I'd guess the RX-8's body will be for the new RX-7 and miata.

I think the RX-8s chassis is going to be used for the 7 as well.. the huge reduction in bending and torsional stiffness over the old 7's chassis will prove to make the new 7 really kick ass! :)

It would be so sweet to have a Roadster Coupe. Oh my. Just slap on a turbo and you have one crazy beast.

Yeah mazda came out with that car a long time ago....... it was called the MX-6! There is a very strong resemblance there!
