I'm impressed, but not amazed yet. It seems like it will be a great, lightweight car. Interested in seeing how it actually performs and the overall feel it has. Based on what we know so far, it definitely has potential to be a fun car.
I get the feeling I'll be more interested in the Subaru version, but it's still kind of speculation at this point.

from all the news I hear about the new boxer engines and deforming blocks at assembly, I'll keep the wankle for now.
this car could have so much win if they just did a beefy Inline 4 or bring back the 2jz, I know I am not the first to say it, but I won't be the last either.

Hope this is ok and works, smthg happened to zoom's one
Interesting how in their training materials they compare to the RX-8 when there is nearly no longer an RX-8 (w/Wenkel!) to compete with.

Also interesting that for how light it is, and its 4 cylinder engine, its only making 30mpg on the highway in the base, 28 in full trim. In comparison, the gigantic Mustang V6 with 300hp is getting 31mpg. Idk, but I think this car is going to be a tough sell in the states. They basically made a less powerful, lighter, 2 seat piston version of the RX-8. The car isn't out yet, and its already obsolete. The new 2.0T Genesis coupes will have 270hp. That said, this car will probably handle better than any car mentioned above.

Will Mazda feel the HP heat and put something comparable power/weight wise in the new MX-5 or keep their HP blinders on regardless?

It has less power and torque than the 8. It is lighter though, and I'm sure it's peak torque will be down low compared to the 8 so acceleration will probably be about the same as our 8s. This I'm sure will be Toyota's and Subaru's base model. I'm sure they'll have blown versions soon.

RX-8 has close to 90% of peak torque as early as 2500 rpm by the way - It's no slouch for what it is although people always say it has "NO" torque. It just would have been better suited to a slightly lighter chassis.

Now (Almost) everything you want to know/see about the Toyota FR-S technical design in pictures and words has been leaked! {Apparently linked images from their forum no longer work}

PS And (yes!) a selling point/diagram shown is 4 track tires stowed behind back seat, along w/a helmet! Or golf bags
