new Mazda video: "Challenge"

http://special.rx-8.mazda.co.jp/gallery/movie.html

2nd video from top. Have some vintage footage of the first Mazda 1 rotor engine, and a lot of shots of the clean room where the RENESIS is HAND BUILT!

That's pretty cool, but I really wish they'd start narrating these things in English too. Good find!

haha a song devoted to our car...I love how the little asian people fit in the car sooo nicely...I'm over 6ft and my brother a few inches taller than me and we look gigantic in the car while my girlfriend who is chinese fits perfect in the thing...her mom is only 4ft 9 inches (no she isn't a midget) and feels that the back seat area is HUGE)

great link...thanks

I posted about this movie a while ago https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/challenge-spirit-renesis-movie-32865/

Again, here's my loose translation of the narration:

Standing alone as the rotary sports car, RX-7. August 2002, the curtain goes down on the RX-7, does this mean the end of the rotary heart of Japanese sports cars?

1967, for 6 years a new technology is being developed, engineers at Mazda strive to create this new rotary dream. Each new car has world class performance, but with each generation the environmental issues create new challenges, will the rotary finally disappear?

However...
...No, the Rotary did not end. The Rotary must never end, once again a new effort has started to design a new Rotary engine. The new generation rotary is born, RENESIS, with performance, quality and craftsmanship. Each engine is hand made one at a time, just like a racing car. An engine that feels like revving to 9000rpm, that's the rotary engine. Built with Japanese tradition (like the katana "Samurai sword" shown) that can only be achieved by humans, that's Japanese craftsmanship. That's why the rotary has spirit (soul). This is Mazda's Spirit, Mazda's pride, only Mazda can do it. This is deeply the rotary engine, the Renesis.

April 2003, a new generation of rotary sports car performance is unveiled, RX-8. The rotary lives again. Engine of the year, RENESIS. Any road, highway, freeway, you can hear the sound of the rotary. Mazda's "challenge the spirit" is this energy, the new rotary engine. More now than ever, this is for rotary sports lovers. Mazda.
