View Full Version : RX8 Coupe
StphNieuw 01-02-2005, 02:48 PM Had a litte (?) too much time on my hands and wanted to see what a RX8 Coupe would look like... So after some paint shop time this is what I came up with.. Its not perfect but gives a pretty good idea. What do you guys and gals think?
StphNieuw 01-02-2005, 03:01 PM This was the stock picture I used.
jenkins-crew 01-02-2005, 03:12 PM good job with the conversion. Still like "4" doors thought...got two little boys in car seats.....perfect sports car for dad.. :D
Grabitquick 01-02-2005, 03:13 PM I dunno. From the side anyway, the coupe looks a little too much like something from another carmaker, like Acura. Just IMHO. Let's see if others have different reactions.
StphNieuw 01-02-2005, 03:15 PM The visibility would certainly be better... I admin though, it does look a little generic but still has the elegant touch.

RXE16T 01-02-2005, 06:02 PM Someone posted a photoshop of a silver Mazdaspeed one before........... I can't seem to find it at the moment, but that was a nice photoshop.
sectachrome 01-02-2005, 06:43 PM someone on rx7club did this a while ago and i saved it...

jenkins-crew 01-02-2005, 06:52 PM Now that would definitally be the coupe version!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, for a coupe version it definitely needs to have a shorter passenger cabin and a longer hood. I would probably buy a coupe if they made one.... I'm still waiting for my RX-01 :p
bigblockbeater 01-02-2005, 07:00 PM i was about to say, the door needed to be extended but as i scrolled down i saw that someone already did. i think it looks good as a coupe. that is one helluva blind spot though.
Rotarian_SC 01-02-2005, 08:34 PM I don't think the pillar would have to be as thick in a coupe version. Stock pillars are large because they have to reinforce the suicide doors.
Soundave 01-02-2005, 08:42 PM sectachrome, I would definitely get a coupe 8 if it looked like that. Looks really good to me.

this would be it...maybe have the door handles on the top like the RX-7 :)
I still think if there was an RX-8 coupe it will be a new RX-7 and will have more aggressive styling, also just do away with a back seat for the new RX-7 that is what the 8 is for and I'm happy with it :)
rotten42 01-04-2005, 10:33 AM I think this is the best one so far.

DemonRX-8 01-04-2005, 10:22 PM Ok, here's my version:

I really like the black version above too!
Tony Orlando 01-05-2005, 06:47 PM Okay, I'm flexin' the mad MS Paint skillz (no Photoshop), but I'd like to see a longer, sleeker rear glass. Sort of a Viper type deal.
Here's my half-ass two minute job:
Tony Orlando 01-05-2005, 06:57 PM Needed a shorter wheelbase.
Mikelikes2drive 01-05-2005, 07:46 PM i think if they made it a coupe... they would make it look just like the miata mx-5 2006
