Hey altspace, do you have any information regarding the Speedsource cars? They are supposed to make an announcement at the autoshow. The race car could possibly be there.

see that Racing Beat there? Jim Mederer , if you havent read us saying this before, tuned that engine.

you guys see the display wall behind the car? the images are projected on to it. they keep changing in each shot. very nice display

mikeyfuzz 01-13-2008 02:53 PM

Did anyone else see in the press release shown at rotarynews.com, Mazda says the Furai is powered by a "RENESIS-based R20B three-rotor rotary engine." Maybe Im an idiot (dont answer that) but I didn't know Mazda had a Renesis based 20B engine. I thought all the 20B's were based on the older engine designs.

Endgame 01-13-2008 03:45 PM

This is the one car Mazda dropped this year that I am most interested in. Just awesome!!!

Nick R 01-13-2008 03:51 PM

Guys, look at the backdrop on the wall, as well as the blue car to right in some of the photos. I see US facelifted RX-8!

zoom44 01-13-2008 03:54 PM

yeah theres a thread on that- look around you might find it

shinka213 01-13-2008 03:59 PM

sweet vid....love the sound..
the appearance isnt bad IMO but i think they need to do something with the nose...ie a different emblem...the flying M doesnt sit well on that pointed nose..

Never heard of the Renesis R20B. But, if it is true, maybe the next engine for the RX-8 will be a three-rotor one. Power should be in the 450 hp range. :)
