That would be awesome. It could even leak fuel all over the road until it warms up. Sweet.

It has Michelin dynamic tire system which changes the tread for the conditions.

Increases traction in wet, or dry and can go into highway mode for fuel savings.

Who said anything about a rotary? They are going to take the little V6 from the MX-3 and add two cylinders.
