Why not two Tiers of Rotary?

why cant mazda keep the RX8 cheap affordable and such, and then offer a higher more expensive rotary option?

Say like the kabura, smack a turbo charged 3 rotary Engine in it and offer it around $60k and keep the RX8 at around $30k new

or even just make a 2 rotary Twin Turbo version and go back to calling it the RX7... (I mean having the RX7 an RX8 out at the same time like MX 5 and MX 6)

1.) It's 3 rotor, not 3 rotary.

2.) It would never pass emissions.

3.) The car isn't selling as it is, so a more expensive version isn't exactly a good idea.
