before you laugh.. it has been done before...


anyone though about making the 8 AWD? ive seen it done on a tiburon before... reg engine FWD then added an engine in the trunk.... RWD so total it was AWD 2 engines and i belive 700 hp range..

How do you use 2 RWD motors to drive all four wheels? I tell you this though you will have a hell of a tranny tunnel and cowl induction hood to fit it.

Man! There´s some work for ya...;) :)

Hey I was trying to be nice!!!! no need to make fun of the guy ;)

Yeah and then get a slower 8 from all the extra drivetrain losses. Now I'm thinking how they are gonna come up with a rotary transaxle... Should they mount it vertically or horizontally, maybe they could attach 4 renesis each on every wheel.

keep laughing...

:rolleyes: Go for it benny! let us know how it turns out.

yeah okay.. pockets aint that deep... just curious if anyone thought about it since people are doing 3 rotor why not 2? 1 rotor to each wheel!

keep laughing...

I'm not making fun of you but... do you realize why mounting an engine in the back worked for the FWD Tiburon and wouldn't work for the RWD RX-8? Have you ever noticed a difference in how an engine is mounted in a FWD vehicle vs a RWD vehicle? Maybe there is a way to do it with the body of the 8 but not likely with any of the existing drivetrain and I'm positive it won't happen with a rotary if it were possible!

The reason no one has thought about it is Mazda never made a front wheel drive car with the rotary engine so there isn’t a transmission that could be used in a set up like the Tiburon. Try Google for some sites that explain how FWD & RWD works and you might figure it out. It would be cheaper to just make another two engine Tiburon and put an RX-8 body shell over it like a funny car.
