Sure, it's better; but the back looks...

...how can I say...

...empty? too big and flat?

Just my 2.8 cents (0.01€ = 0.014$ )

bump for sneak peek of the 16X engine




A next-generation rotary engine with an introduction of direct injection for dramatically improved driving performance and fuel efficiency.



Performance

- Driving performance: torque boosted at all engine speeds

- Environmental performance: further improvement in fuel efficiency



Major technological appointments

- Direct injection rotary engine

- Redesigned trochoid rotor housing and increased displacement

- Light weight and compact size through the use of aluminum side housing and other measures

Hmm. Put a proper rear end on it and I'd be tempted.

Work in progress

I like the platform and where Rmagic took it. I'm trying to make it look more production.
Here is a loose attempt.

spooled: need bigger openings in that front bumper for proper airflow. This new 16X is gonna need lots of cold air.

It'd be cool if the 16x was eventually the engine that will be mated with a true MS8. I'd be thrilled if this engine can be tranplanted into the 8 relatively easily. I like my 8 and like 4 seats .
