Please note the hated front license plate cutout ABOVE the main intake a-la 3G RX-7 and different mirrors. It also appears to be a smaller car. Notice the extreamly short front end in the profile shot. If it wasn't for what appears to be the same rotory hood buldge and 4 door (non functional???) profile, I'd swear it's not even an RX-8.
Then what is it???
1. Is it the "let's make an RX-7 based on the Miata" idea that was floating around 5 years ago. I Doubt it. The rear side window profile is definitely post Evolv.
2. A 4G RX-7?????? No way, it's not agresive enough.
3. An RX-6!!!!!
