That is the original show/concept car that became the RX8. That is the past, not the future.

that car is the reason i have the RX-8 now. If you cant appreciate the design then you are blind. It debuted at the 1999 Tokyo Auto Show

still wish we had the clamshell hood



it looked good in purple



i remember getting Gran Turismo whatever just to drive it

the design sure, but i thought it was supposed to be a next one, not the one that the rx8 came from, its a good base design, obviously, seeing as how i love my 8, but if it looked just like that? no i wouldnt have gotten it.

If the "future is the past" then where is my 280 horsepower they quoted for the Renesis?

Perhaps 250?

Perhaps 232?

Perhaps 200?, yeah, that's it.....


LOL.

Zoom, all that is posting is a generic picture from the site you are linking to.

(and a watermark on the picture saying to embed picture codes - instead of linking)

Nice 5 pictures of a 'generic' silver Vette, though.

I never new Zoom liked the Vette so much! Captain Obvious says: Actually the pics were hotlinked from a site and I think the real pics expire after a bit and the Vette image is what NetCarShow.com replaces it with.
