Just got the June 03 Motor Trend and on pages 70 & 71 there is a Mazda RX-8 add.
WEIGHT IS THE ENEMY.
Because every pound you save improves performance in every dimension: Acceleration. Braking. Handling. Which is why the new Mazda RX-8's high-output dual-rotor RENESIS engine is so revolutionary.
- It delivers 250 naturally aspirated horsepower from just 1.3
liters
- So it's almost 90 pound lighter than even a popular all-aluminum
V6 (sports car engineers kill for 90 pound).
- Making it possible for the RX-8 to accelerate from 0-60 in a very
unconventional 5.9 seconds (Source: Road & Track, April 2003).
- And because it's so much smaller than a conventional engine, it
can be mounted lower and further back for perfect 50/50 weight
distribution before loading, more interior space (room for four
instead of two) and handling and braking you literally have to
drive to believe.
