The new RX-8 based Mazda SSR-X8.




The MAZDA SSR-X8

Haul ***, haul lumber.......... just not at the same time.





:-P




I was a bit drunk when I made that, but I still think it came out quite good. :-) Though I don't think it would make a good tow rig. :-/

I agree with NVMYGT, great artwork ... bad idea! This car should not try for all things to all people...

I understand the confusion.

But I have a beater truck just for hauling stuff- stuff too big and dirty for a station wagon or trunk.

The RX-8 has 0 tow rating. So I can't even get a light duty work trailer.

Mazda made a REPU in the 70s, and it was quite popular in the areas where it was available.


Anyways- a two seater rotary engined vehicle with a manual tranny and a work bed would fit my needs to a T. -Make it a three rotor based on the Renesis (instead of the 20B), and I think it would be a fine modern day REPU. ;-) But that could just be the cheap wine talking.

Excellent editing.

Did you try putting a removable spoiler on it?

Chemical influence tends to bring good things like creativity.

Yeah, if I had two pics of the same car at different angles, I might have tried to post it as 'spy pics'- to see if I could fool anybody. But with one pic, I just wanted to see what this car would look like- and I didn't spend enough timeto really pass it off as real (I see many flaws now that would need attention). The back is actually off of a B4000, and really only the bumper and detail of the curved lid cover meeting the top of the bed are left- everything else I created (you can make things from scratch on a pic edit if you only use colors already in the image)


I did try to fool some people a while back with this one:


-



I had some people going with that one. :-P


And I use Paint Shop Pro btw (us poor folks that have to actually buy software for personal use can't afford Photoshop).

Ok, then how would you make a better version? just curious.

When you make something from nothing, you are limited to what is available (and your abilitiy).


I actually want such a vehicle to be made- not so much in this exact form, but in this idea. The idea is a sport truck that is a great manual tranny sport driving vehicle that also has a truck bed. I am not sure why this idea seems so foreign to so many, especially since Mazda did this in the 70s.

lol, wow... great work. I'll definitely have to agree that you need a different fascia... Mazdaspeed, or maybe INGS would be better?

It may be the ugliest thing you've seen, but have you seen the real SSR? It's fuglier.

Good chop. It fooled me. I thought it was a new Mazda concept prototype when I first looked at it.
