Nice find, nice shots is that a Mazdaspeed MX5 behind it with an intake port in the front nose? Also did you happen to find out when and if they are ever releasing this it's kinda sad that the turbo 6 will be more powerful than our 8s.

Is that a brake light embedded in the rear rotary accent?
What would be the point of putting one there?
Isn't it a bit too low to the ground to be very usefull?
Incredible looking 8 though, I'm still trying to get the drool out of my keyboard.

I wanna steal the hood ... that hood scope is sweet. I don't care if mine is supercharged as long as I can get that hood. I kinda like the fog lights like that.

Looks like a badly modified Rx8, This Rx8 wasnt designed by Mazda. Its a fake Mazdaspeed
look at the rotors, they are the same as the "regular" Rx8

It's a modification by the R&D Engineering teams at MazdaUSA. It's been spotted before and they gave a small interview about it in the past. It's sitting in their Headquarters building right now.

M 6 slow? I don't think so..................
Two weeks ago on the track with the Mazda Nascar team, I passed one but two of them were on my *** the whole time.
So I let them pass... They are faster in the straights too.
Actually they pushed me off the track, then I passed them when I was making a grand tour of the infield. (They slowed down. They were keeping an eye on me to make sure I wouldn't hit them).
No need to push beyond your experience. Better to be safe than sorry.
