I came arcoss this on this site. Please explain this model.

 

it's a concept model, early proto-type.. prob the rx-evolve..

 

its the type-R

 

That was one of the pre-production versions... they had one like that at the 2002 Sydney motor show.

 

That's an early prototype of the RX-8

 

BTW, not the RX-Evolv... you can see a small pic of the evolv on this webpage, can even buy a mousepad with it on there :D

Yup, that's not the RX-Evolv (the original concept of the freestyle doors); the Evolv had right hand drive, and funky vertical LED headlights. That car looks to be the original RX-8 Concept, which came after the Evolv.

Yes -- I remember the smaller gtill, different lights, shorter-looking nose, different wheels and exhaust, and the doors opening farther onto the roof.

 

its the rx8 Gsr model equipped with a 1.8 liter DOHC Vtec engine...
