Any news or is this just another dead dream?

I would it's just I wouldn't trust just anyone to do the work na 350-400hp na would always be more reliable and I'm sure it'll outrun most 300-400hp turbo rx7

Thanks for the Input. Nine year old thread, and you decide to weigh in on a phantom product that has never been attempted, much less sold. Thanks for the valuable information

Hate to tell everyone. Mazda did build a 4 rotor super car called the Furai. Unfortunately after the only concept built of this car burned to the ground on a test run they scrapped it. Also anyone unfamiliar Mazda one the lemans in 91 with an n/a 787b 4 rotor capable of 950 hp at 10000 rpm but due to durability issues limited it 7000 but was producing 650 hp. And after the lemans the condition of the engine was so excellent they could have run a second lemans without touching it. But for 15 grand I'm out. I've seen turbo cars with about 12 k invested on 9 pounds putting down 356 to the wheels. Not sure exactly what else is done though and can't verify that's all that was spent. Just what people claim. If true that's pretty awesome. Also would be concerned with fuel consumption. As the 2 rotor kinda drinks fuel like dump truck haha.

Furai was a 3rotor based on the Renesis.
450HP R20B Renesis.

You are correct. For some reason I was thinking they had put a 2.6 four rotor in it. Not sure why. Still a very cool design. Hoping the rumors are true about the new rx7. Anyone know anything about that?

you need to read the new members forum.
And you need to stop regurgitating information you misread somewhere on line.
And you need to check the dates of the post. Most of the members here haven't logged in in many years, so they're not hearing the aweful information you regurgitated

Chill out. Simple mistake that was corrected. No need to be a jersey about it.
