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?

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.

The visibility would certainly be better... I admin though, it does look a little generic but still has the elegant touch.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 :)

I think this is the best one so far.

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:

Needed a shorter wheelbase.

i think if they made it a coupe... they would make it look just like the miata mx-5 2006
