2009 RX-8 review
 

Here's a comprehensive review on the 2009 Mazda RX-8, featuring lots of info, from design and performance, to history and competition of the RX-8. Also available is a photo gallery with the sports car.

"After almost eight years of production, the highly successful Mazda RX-8 will be reinvented in a completely new model. The original 2+2 doors coupe is expected to come with an all-new skin and refreshed “Zoom-Zoom” design in 2009. The dynamics are guaranteed to be better than ever for an RX model, featuring the latest generation of Mazda’s exotic Wankel rotary engine...."

The heck? Where's the RX-8..

That's the Kabura.

I wouldn't drive that thing.

What an amazin design i think this car was originally called the Kabura

I like that gold one. if it comes out, trading in

this car doesnt have a rotary according to mazda's website

It was yanked before debut.

Is it really the next gen RX-8?... someone please confirm, its just the Kabura, i think that site made it up or something.

I think it looks pretty sharp. Mazda wants to change the grill to that one and it looks good. It still looks like an rx8, the large wheel arches and such. 300hp would be very nice. I don't like the center exhaust I hope they don't go with that. Overall i think it seems like a good refresh especially with the 300hp.

Is it me or does this car kind of remind you of an Eclipse? (mostly from the back) I like the front end, but the back end needs some work.

this car is ugly

internet > 6 of you

lol looks like an eclipse from the front.. and ugly from the back.. :hahano:

cant wait as long as it rotary.

"Our artist has prepared a few illustrations that show you were the RX-8 design is headed to. "

First off, it's what their artist thinks it will look like.
Second, if this was real, I think they would have better proof-readers. I think they wanted to use "where" instead of "were". Unless they were targeting Chingy's fan base...

you are as dumb as the article writers. Look at my comment at the bottom, it should be the most recent one. That isnt their artists sketch, it is Franz's sketch from 05, the signature hasnt even been photoshopped out of it.


Arf. You people need to pay more attention.


intranet > 8 of you.

This paragraph itself makes me think much of the article is complete crap...even if they're trying to say when it was launched in CONCEPT they have it wrong- because the RX-8 as we know it was first presented to the public (at least in the US) at the 2002 NAIS, not the 2001.

I'm also thinking (like the rest of you) that except for the one sketch by Franz von Holzhausen that shows basically nothing, they're Kabura sketches tweaked by someone.

edited because I'm blind

FYI, the Kabura does have a rear useless door. hehe. but thats not the point, this article is complete crap.

*sigh* I'm so out of it- it's not on the kabura concept on Mazdausa, so I think it doesn't exist...I can't keep up with all this information!

edit: yes it is, I'm just blind...arrggghhh....

Someone is bored enough to put this out? It's the Kabura...

It was a good read. Those wheels are way to big for a good handling track car.

Besides, it's a free post to comment on the Kabura.

Wow sorry! Geez someone needs to relax. Too much coffee today? I'm just having a little fun man. And I just read the article. I don't read all those posts afterwards.
Wow you're wound up as tight as a butthole in a prison.

on a calmer note... I like the name kabura. I read about it in an article the name means "the first arrow shot in battle." Creative and whitty. You will know the new rx-8 when you see it. It will be the one with all the triangles on it.

yes, im wound too tight because you are too lazy/ignorant to actually look into what you are posting.
