2009 8?

I don't know if these are old photos, I didn't want to search all the old posts for it. Has anyone seen this new rx8? Did you see what they are doing to the interior? It seems like they tamed it down a lot, Im not sure if I like it or not. What do you think?

your looking at the red rx evolve which was the prototype of the rx-8. then the yellow one is the first prototype named rx-8 shown to the public in 2002. slight changes were from that to the production RX-8 which we have now.

Sorry, I thought this is a new version of our beautiful car. Thought the comparisons would be nice to see what we might have had

I don't think so

Its bullshit. Raise the rear bumper with those tiny exhaust!

And the hood opening another bullshit pipe dream.

Did you see those shitty wheels?

It's a shame the non-rusted hubs didn't make it into production.
