design cue for 2 door and convertible RX-8

founds some pics of pre-production RX-8s with 2 doors and convertible.

it's not exact production model but they show clues to the variants if they ever decide to bring it out I guess..

check it out at

Hey did anyone notice the rotor itself wasnt solid in the 1st video with the yellow rx8?? its right about the 1/3rd mark on the video...

it seems different to all the other rx8 rotors I've seen, like the one where they were constructing the renesis by hand at the factory.
