New RX-8 to be unveiled at Detroit motor Show
Dear rotary enthusiasts,
I have found an article in "Marca Motor" (a Spanish magazine) stating that the new RX8 will be unveiled at Detroit motor Show. The article shows the Nagare concept and the text (in Spanish) is pretty short and just says what it is written in the title of this thread. Link to article: http://www.superimagehosting.com/vie...166729470p.jpg I found the article very poor, but probably that is because as a rotary enthusiast I expect all the news about RX´s to be at top level. Let us see if what the article says becomes truth. Regards jird20 |
dont hold your breath bro
|
no one knows, mazda is very tide lip at the moment, people that use to be good source of info are completly silent :mad:

One day I'll visit Spain....one day, my Grandfather was born there and came to Cuba when he was very young.
ANYWAYZZZZZ... It sure looks futuristic (the Nageene03493049 what ever), but yeah I think all of us RX8ers have grown tired of the wait, and prefer to be bitter old fogies when it comes to RX8 "News". LOL, we shall see... |
Looks Very Weak And Misleading, Anyone Want To Transalte That Into English?
|
I'm dissapointed already...is that bad!?
|
i don't think so...
|
isn't that Ash8's avi?
pssst . . . there's a new 8 coming out . . . pass it on. |

That is so friggin ugly. Don't get me wrong I am all into futuristic cars but that thing is just hideous.
|
Looks like a chicks vibrator.
|
Fellow Rotor heads,What this article is saying is that the RX8 of the future,will have to wait,Sassou,Senku,Kabura and Nagare, Mazda again opens a can of worms with this concept based on on its Lines and round contours. It may be the RX8 of the future,but it will have to wait,because the new production RX8 is aroud the corner, And It will unveil in Detroit.
|
Geez, when they created the artwork they could have at least centered the Mazda emblem in the left front wheel.
The new Ford grille is disgusting. Otherwise looks like the other sketches that have been released. Of course if anything would increase the demand for the current RX8, that beast would. |
New colors?
|
That car (Nagare) is what the whole next gen Mazda line is to be based on. It is not what the new RX-8 is going to be.
The whole concept of the Nagare was to show motion while the car was not even moving. All Mazda's are to be based off that design. Next time go to Mazda North America's website and you would find this: After presenting three ground-breaking concept vehicles during the 2005-2006 global auto show season – Sassou, Senku and the Kabura, which won Detroit Motor Show’s esteemed Aesthetics and Innovation Award at the 2006 North American International Auto Show – the 2007-2008 Auto Show Season continues to keep energy levels brimming with the introduction of Mazda’s design and surface language for future Zoom-Zoom vehicles. The new surface language called Nagare (pronounced “na-ga-reh”) was revealed at this year’s Greater Los Angeles International Auto Show and is the first of a series of design concepts that Mazda will showcase this global auto show season, including Los Angeles, Detroit, Geneva and Tokyo. Under the direction of Mazda’s new global design director, Laurens van den Acker, the challenge given to the team was to invent a novel means of registering motion in vehicles whether they’re moving or still. Nagare, which means flow in Japanese, achieves that goal while also signaling a fresh design direction for future Mazda vehicles. Franz von Holzhausen, Mazda North American Operations’ (MNAO) Director of Design, and the man responsible for leading the US-based design team, which developed this vehicle, explains, “We’re looking well down the road with Nagare. We want to suggest where Mazda design will be in 2020. To do that, we redefined basic proportions and the idea of driving without losing the emotional involvement. Mazda’s driving spirit will be enhanced and intensified by Nagare. |
The current issue of Car & Driver has the Nagare on the cover. Inside it states that MNAO Director of Design, Holzhausen, says the first new vehicle to display Nagare cues will be in 2008.
C&D speculates an RX vehicle of some kind, RX-3, RX-7 or new RX-8. |
A new RX-8 is to be expected in 2009, last I heard. We still have a couple of years wait. It was mentioned in the Aussie forum I believe.
|
they forgot the doors... :wallbash:
|
:rollingla
It's a futuristic machine, man. You just de-materialize and then re-materialize inside. duh. |
No Way
I saw this car at the LA Auto show a few weeks ago. I also saw it on CNBC (Behind the Wheel). It's called the Nagre Concept Both times, Mazda stated this this is only a vision of new mazda's to come. Say around 2020. No indication on model's or production dates. You can read more on it from Automobile.com

Pole with extension to clean dash should be standard. Sell this thing to a cheap sci-fi producer and move on.

Read THIS and use the link on the thread. This is all old news.

Must be the Ford influence thats making the concept car vision suck. |

pssst . . . there's a new 8 coming out . . . pass it on. Yes our Spanish mate..its just a concept, does not even have a donk (motor) asaik... New RX-8, I doubt it...this one (FE) still has at least 3-4 years to go... |
Although the f*gly Nagare is shown, the article states that the NEW RX-8 is to be unveiled at Detroit Motor Show. I personally hope that future RX-8 generations have nothing to do with such a concept. Let us see what is really shown at Detroit soon... jird20 |
I just realised what Nagare makes me think of: Something from Buick. I think it's the effect of the big mouth look with eyes very separated (Not a good look). That chrome grille is the worst part of the design. It seems they may have already gotten rid of it for their next concept vehicle.

Flux capacitor and cold fusion reactor are options.

FE :rollingla:

anyone planning on visiting the event at Detroit?
http://www.naias.com/SubPage.aspx?id=598 I am still curious to see the "truth" about the new RX8 :fingersx: Cheers jird20 |

Looks like this new 8 maybe hydrogen powered. Hmmnn... Maybe they will surprise us at least with an electric assist turbo from years ago. Cant remember exactly how they had that setup. We'll all find out here in a few days.

i really hope that doesnt end up being the new rx8 I would definately much rather prefer the Kabura design seing how it is th closest concept to the 8 and hell, it looks like alot of fun to drive that one. If they release the kabura as the new 8 they could finally slap on a turbo or super and call it the mazdaspeed rx-8

Chrome grill! - Got to be an American thing.....
Look chromed grills are lovely on Eldorados and big finned cars like GM used to make - but an 8 with a chrome grill hurts - it's like putting braces on a pretty girl - a front screen, subtle, placed a little back for invisablity fine - but stick to stuff that looks like old Lotus, early porsche, and early corvette design... flow, curves, anything but square boxes with chrome teeth! |
You lost me at early corvette. Anything pre C5 should be burned.

Yup - the oldies are the nicest vettes. 63 was the split window. My personal favorite. Tho I'd take any of the late 60 models w/the big block.
