wheels feb '03
Since a couple of their contributors read this (Hi Bob!) I'll just paraphrase. It was excerts from an interview with the rx-8 Project manager.
1) Mazda will be announcing a 'suprise' in Jan '04.
2) He confirmed existence of a 280HP engine in development for the rx-8
3) 1 & 2 are expected to be linked.
4) The 280HP is expected to be a 13b N/A (10k RPM+)
Sorry best I could do unless one of the wheels guys OK's it.
Sadly some bastard just obliterated my car:

Which leaves me short of any rx-8 whatsoever since the arent here til june

They listed the mechaincal mods to the mazdaspeed rx-8 as being exhaust and brakes. No I got the impression it was to be an MPS version. Mazdaspeed prepared, maybe, but not badged as such for export.
