Forced Induction RX8

I just read on AutoWeek that there are rumors about a factory-supercharged RX8. Anyone know if this can be fitted on an existing 8? Sorry if this has been addressed in a previous thread, no time to read through 26 pages of threads...

The rumors, and some facts have been around for a while...the best thing to do is a search to get all the background information...too much for anyone to care to list or outline.

not from the factory, but Sunflower Mazda is going to offer one as a dealer accessory that doesn't void the factory warranty...

Hey, take it easy on the guy.. Obviously his time is ALOT more valuable than our time. We should bend over backwards to do all his research and give him what he needs since he is so much better than us!

Don't listen to all the n00bs here.

To answer your question, yes, there will be a new supercharged RX8 coming out. It will be a FWD quad-rotor twin supercharged 8 and it's a direct swap. In fact, it'll produce 434lbs of tq and 450whp. The best part is that it will not void your warranty since it's a swap from another 8. The only downside to this is that you're going to have to wait till next year in order for the car to hit the market, and maybe even some more time to find a wrecked one with the supercharger in it.

I hope this helps!

What is this "forced induction" that you speak of? Sounds sexual.
