somebody really needs to let them know that they do not have the only 4 rotor rx8 in this world.

having that on their windshield is so.... tacky.

At idle it sounds like a Brian Eno song (in a good way).

I wonder what engine housings they used to make this four rotor? For some reason, I doubt it was the Renesis.

It's the "Lemans winning" 787 motor.

But what was the fire on the ground in front of the car in the dyno video?

It is based off of the '09 body style so they really can't help that much.

But the 4 rotary sounds so beastly on the track.

Holy crap, I didn't even notice it was on the 09 body style. I was too busy looking at the engine bay

sounds so dam good.
Only if I hard about 50-60k in my wallet, then I might think about buying some of the things that would be needed to pull this off.

Dear gods!

Idle to rev limiter in milliseconds. Seriously, a switchblade doesn't open as fast.

Like the other gentleman said, "Form follows function". That beast is designed to do one thing; rip the pavement a new pothole wherever it wants to, when it wants to.

Glorious sound!

saw this car in person, one of only 3 Rx-8's at SEMA this year and it was frickin' sweet. Most impressive thing about me was how new the car was, first I noticed the 4 rotor, then I saw it was an 09, pretty awesome overall considering what its built for.

^I agree. Built to race and that's it. My guess is Mazda had a big part of this build and might have even supplied the car, hence the newer model.

yup I certainly am, fixing to redo it with some custom made goodies. So maybe I should get a sticker on my window that says "world's only liquid cooled car audio system" huh?
