Renesis 2
Intersting news to say the least. Bring it to SSX this weekend! Come on Mazda. Show it off at the world's largest rotary event!

That would be nice if it's going to be at SSX.
|
Interesting...better than the kabura, but I still like the current 8's style.
|
Nice, this weekend is going to be a blast :)
|
woooot!!!! wait for my "told ya so"
|
Good work guys. The future may be bright yet.

Those headlights are insane.
Totally Sci-fi. |

Article states that; "In spite of flagging interest in the RX8 (new 2006 models are still avaliable with a $3,000 discount), Mazda hasn't abandoned hope for the Wankel power."
I said that Mazda was using the letter C to show a change in the geometry- dimensions besides width-

hehehhehehehehe!!!!! i love it when the pieces all fit together like this!!!!

remeber that each of the cars starting with nagare has been closer to production than the previous one. Following the timeline i saw previously this car at Tokyo will be only like 2 years out!!!:) so its at "EVOLVE" stage. Next would be "First Yellow RX-8 prototype" stage at Detroit a year from now(or LA) AND a fresh face for the RX-8 over the winter- exactly like Gomez and Revolver(our freinds from down under ) have been reporting this last week- ONYA FELLAS!! |
This news is definitely feeding the Mazda fanboi within. :biggthump
|
Zoom had some coffee this morning :) This is all SO exciting! I wish I was headed to SSX.
|
How cool would it be if the 40th Ann. RX8's were delivered with the Ren2?
|
It does resemble all the concept cars Mazda showed us as well as the 8 but also it reminds me of an Ashton Martin.
|
woot!!!
This puppy better be at SS X |
Man, if it is at SSX...there better be A LOT of pictures!!
This is very exciting news! I can't wait to hear more! |
time for an engine swap :D
|
I call dibs on starting the "Will you trade in your 8 for the New RX-7" thread.
|

Time to spam this thread with excitement!!
The new Flow concept car looks like a MAzda 6 from the front. On the new Renesis, if they change the dimensions to deal with the inefficiency of the rotary engine, 1.6L might not be the only working dimension. With 1.6L of displacement I am sure the redline will decrease. How about a 1.35L, 1.4, 1.45L... These might all work. It would be awesome if the new rotary can maintain the same redline of the Renesis. Man this weekend will be crazy for all of us rotorheads.. I will be on this forum all weekend to read the updates from you guys. ________ Live sex |

It looks like there is room for a backseat. Do you think so? If so, :biggthump |
I vote best thread of the year!
|
Hmmm, I just noticed that the pictures are named "RX7_2011" You boys have got some time to start saving your pennies...
|
so do you think the kabura is still a separate car or is this an evolution of the kubura?
|
The big news is not the possible RX-7 that is still a long time away, the big news is THE NEW RX-8 WITH LARGER ENGINE THIS WINTER!!!
|
separate i think, Kabura will come with 2.0L inline 4 and will be cheap and lightweight.

So any idea if the facelift rx-8 would have some engine improvements? |
|
I think the new rotary looks like a Cadillac in the front...
|
Well it better have enough power to match other new performance vehicles by Toyota/Lexus, Honda (LOL, accord coupe), Nissan, etc. It's ugly too.
|
This makes me sad / happy.
Need to see more details.. specs, weight.. price! |

If you end up saying the rear looks like a Sebring or something STUPID, I'm going to euthanize you. |
need...more...info
im hitting refresh every 5 minutes i'm so excited about this news!!! seven stock and Tokyo motor show...should be an interesting next few weeks!!! |
^^ LOL! I really want to see the rear. The front really looks like it's from a Cadillac in my opinion.
|
the front needs some work, but remember how ugly the Yellow prototype rx-8s front was, and how weird the rx-evolve front was?
|
looks damn good
way better than the previous concepts |
yeah the rx8 came a long way in just a few short years prior to production. Just fine tuning the appearance.
|
I think I would prefer the Kabura design alot more, It looks more rotay like than this model does
|
The pic on that page just looks like the Kabura to me.
Good news in the words though. |
YESYESYESYESYESYEYSYESYESYESYESYESYEYSYEYESYEYSESY ES!!!!!!!!
FTWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! OMG I hope this is at 7stock! Thanks Mazda!! I can't wait to see this bad boy and hear about the specs! WoooooooooHooooo!!! |
Like Rotary Crazy said, that front end can be integrated right into the Kabura. Neither front end will make it to production.
