no idea...it was on e-bay for sale a year ago for like 70k+...but no on ebought it then. I just don't think anyone wants to buy a car that has that much power...not very good for a daaily driver i guess. But i dunno. Guess we coudl just call and ask them.
I know when they first did made the car...they offered to drop a 20B into your rx-8 for about $43k.....but the price was a lill too high for most peoples blood. But if anyone is seriouse about haveing this car...you might want to go that route since you already have an 8:D

I don't think anyone's buying it because the car never got ran, there are no numbers, nothing, it's all smoke and mirrors so far. There is no credibility to the car, so nobody wants to take the risk.

The engine mod (along with chassis strengthening, and pretty much everything else (bigger rims, reveised tranny, even interior) is now $60K on their website. I would love to get this car as a plaything, but as a primary car that is ridiculous. They actually have had it tested in this months turbo. It put out 950 whp now !!! but it was gasping at the end, they are looking to put a bigger (R-Trim) turbo on it. Crazy !

Only if you have a day car..This could be a very good toy!!!
Just for USA people though...I had asked them when they lanch it and they had told me that if i wanted them to get here in GREECE and make the mods in my 8 i was needed to pay 120000$.Thats 3new high power RX8s in Greece :D
He also had told me some numbers...I don't belive anything before sheets or vids but i can tell you the numbers he told me...
800+whp 640torque and 0-60 in 1.7sexs or secs whatever you like :D :D...The better one the car revs to 11000rpms and the life of the motor would be arround 40000ml(i don't remember this good..I am bored to see my emails.. )

rumors had it that someone offered to buy it and bought it through ebay, but didn't had the funds to back it up or something. All due respect to Acosta motorsport 20b rx8, but it did nothing for the rx8 or the people that drives it. Who has 40 grand to put on a motor? If they spend some more time getting potential out of the renesis I be singing a different tune. But anyone can drop a 20b in a car and make a lot of hp out of it, same cant be said regarding with the renesis. This car is just a dyno queen, its just brute HP. Sorry that just don't impress me.

I know its a 3-rotor 20b.
You didn't read what i said..Its is easier to make a 3Rotor Renesis than change the whole motor-thing..And besides Rx8 is a new car and its motor is a unique thing...Why to change it???
