not sure if this is old or new news ....
New details are starting to emerge about the 2012 Mazda RX-9.


According to AutoCar, the RX-9 will be the spiritual successor to the RX-7 and feature a traditional two-door body. It is rumored to weigh approximately 1250kg (2755 lbs) and share chassis components with the next-generation MX-5.


Power will be provided by a new rotary engine, which is expected to use an electric supercharger, with upwards of 300 hp (224 kW / 304 PS). Despite the added performance, the RX-9 will be more efficient than the RX-8. A launch is scheduled for next year

Interesting, nevertheless!

 

Mazda feels that FT-86 coming. 2010s will be the new 1980s it would seem.

 

hummm

 

i dont search this forum to much so its news to me, i remember reading a concept a long time ago, but nothing that informative. im really excited. im wondering how they went about making an electrical supercharger that is actually efficient...

 

Thomas Knight superchargers are electric, and work pretty well. You need a lot of juice to power them though.
