An old dream returns to live. And´ that of the engine I rotated, that Felix Wankel, technician and inventor German, began to support outcome from the Years 30. A dream that interested all l´industry dell´car (and not only), with varied highs and low, until to to be left for problems of consumption, pollution and reliability and, naturally, for the continuous progresses of the classic propellers despite the advantages offers in subject of dimensions, thoughtlessness and power. Left from everything, but not from the Mazda. The Japanese House, payment in hand to the Ford (that possiede more of 30% of the packet share), continued to use such type of engine (beyond 2 millions the vehicles on that was ascended) investing millions of yen in its development. And now, with the name of Renesis (from rotary engine, note, and from Types, yes actual the Book), relaunches it with pride and trust in the RX-8, a sporty coupé to four places presented to the Lounge of Detroit and proposed in preview to the «media» for a test in the attractive circuit of Lagoon Seca, to two steps from Monterey, and on the roads and freeways of the California,. A bet ambitious for the relatively small Japanese costruttore (a million of cars corrupt l´past year, of whom 180 thousand in Europe and 7.500 in Italy, record for the Mazda in our market) and for its management anglo-American, pledged under the flag Ford in the to throw the brand after a long period of stasi. «This will be l´year of the large leap» say in Mazda, where wait for themselves a lot from the full commercializzazione of the «media» 6 (that already is pleased a lot) and dall´arrival of the «small» 2 in spring and, I obviate, of the RX-8 that we will see in Italy after l´summer. «However - they warn cautious - we want to grow gradually, wanting to intend what it was l´image Mazda: engines shining, sportività in the comfort». It adds the n. 1 of Mazda Italy, Carlo Simongini: «we do Not do figures, but our society is agile and streamline, we have spacious margin of development and we want to gain a contribution of market quite greater dell´present 0,3%». In the plans, however, l´objective of to double (at least) the sales. The results of 2003 (that accompany themselves to an economical budget positive) I am, well, alone a trampolino for the future and if the Mazda 6 and the 2 will be, together to other models already appreciated from the public, the pillars of the «bounce», the RX-8 will constitute the car-emblem. But not only, because this car, planned entirely from the technical staff Japanese (to the anglo-Americans are up the financial and commercial strategies), would have to be prodotta to regime in 60 thousand exemplary l´year (one thousand in Italy). That is not little, treating itself, in fund, of an I model of niche, destined for the half to cover the market nordamericano. And, besides, the RX-8 appears immediately like an I model affected above all for the Usa. To leave from the design, dynamic and aggressive but a little´ intricate, with some fall of flavor inside and outside. The insides are treated with extreme caution, but the back seats are sacrificed. In remuneration, the solution of two doors more two doors that open themselves controvento, without ascending central, appears guessed, avoiding acrobazie contorsionistiche for nell enter´cockpit. And the safety against-I clash side is guaranteed from a helm introduced in the structure of the door. In track and on road the new Mazda offers excelling feelings. Without need of special electric supports (however, there are Abs and control of the traction-stability), the RX-8 appears shining and quite «assettata», with an engine pimpante (even if is done hear when itself «pulls») and elastic sufficientemente, paragonabile to a 6 cylinders of 2,5-3 liters. In reality, it is a 1200 with quite 240 Cv, with honest consumptions and in rule with the rules «green» Euro4. The price? About 34 thousand euro. Who it wants a´sole car is served.
