2-Door 2 Seater RX-8 - Rare Picture...

I found this picture on an RX-8 Calender and was shocked to see only 2 doors! Does anyone know anything about this? Did they really make some 2 door models (prototypes)?

I think the 2 door in this picture looks much sleeker without the rear doors and pillors. It looks more like what the next generation of RX-7 should resemble.

Yeah, that shot definitely screams as a 2-seat or 2+2 RX-7...

No surprise...would look nice though next to an S2k...you would still have a ton of room behind you though if the dimensions remained roughly the same and it was a 2-seater considering the engine and tranny are so mid-mounted.

now that would be sweet. i like having the 4 doors (insurance cheaper thanks to those bad boys) but the 2 door would look much more aggressive

That is awesome. I'd love to add a real 2 door 2 seat RX8 to my stable. I don't think it would be wrong to call it RX7. Shoot, just tune it like Canzoomer does, but from the factory and I bet it's performance is better than the FD. Ok...no more talk about a future RX7. There is so much BS floating around.

I think that droptop looks nice! My insurance company calls my 8 a 2-door and can't change it in their system. I wonder if that costs me more....

Talking

How knows maybe someday this could be a reality! It would be really cool if they could come up with an 8 convertible that would still accomodate the four doors and four passengers. :D This way all the women could just jump in the car without even having to stop!

The wheel base should definitely b shortened on that 2 door. Save weight and IMO better looks. Other than that i would say that this looks even better than the rx7 concept pics that have been floating around.
