The making of RX-8

First off I don't care if this is a repost or not. It's pretty cool. This is a 3 part video that shows the RX-8 in various design stages including the engine facility. If you look closely (and quickly) you can see just how large the rotary engine building really is. You also can see rotors fresh after they've been cast but before they've been machined. The machining process is shown very quickly too. For anyone that has ever been to any of the Sevenstock events at the old location may recognize a few of the outside scenes from the last video. Pretty cool.

Actually I do care that this is a repost! I care very much. they are good videos for all to see.
So repost as many time as you like. Not everyone searches, so they miss the good things.

Great post.

So, when are they going to come out with a 2.6L or 3 rotor production engine and make the rest of the world drool over their sports car?
