New RX8
My Road and Track says 2014 is when we will see the new SKY R

That is R for rotary.

A new 8 is in the works!

i think this is a repost, but good nonetheless. the article is, however, filled with type-o's in the print edition and honestly, speculative at best... lol

in the print edidtion they called the renesis, the "genesis" engine.

dumb f's

I really like it, but I think it looks more luxury/sporty than an actual sports car. It would be great if they made this AND a new rotary sports car, something about the same size as the FD.

I can dream, right?

That thing looks awfully big. If they are going to be south of 300hp to drastically improve the MPG, I'm guessing they may be able to get in the 250-275 range and with that , the car will definitely need to be under 3k lbs if they want to compete with similar cars. But then again, since when does Mazda want to compete with their competition anyway?

Well the '8 was definitely behind in fuel economy and straight line acceleration when new, but other models didn't have so much of a disparity. The Mx-5 has never really had a steady competitor (maybe the Solstice briefly). The Mazdaspeed 3 has certainly been on a similar level as the GTI and other such hatches. The Rx-7's were very close or even faster than the direct competition in a straight line.

As for it looking big... it's a picture on the internet, that doesn't really tell you much

Hahahe!

Mazda:
  • Keep the power up.
  • Keep the weight down.
  • Keep the fuel efficiency up.
  • Keep the luxury at the level of the current RX8, or just slightly more.
  • Most importantly DO NOT lose the amazing handling which the current RX8 already comes with, pretty please.
What do you mean, I can't have my wish list?!
