SO what is happening about this new version, everyone said it is due out in 07. And, nothing!:xconfused
Just like the bull about the 24 hours race (LeMans) and Mazda for 07.
There is still rhumors that it will be released at the 7\'s show in Japan next year - ie 07 07 07! :bandit
I hope mazda do pull something out the bag, considering nissan have thrown the gauntlet down with the new gtr :)
Mazda are sitting back a bit, They need to bring something out soon to kick back a bit:god
They should just take that cool prototype with the mx5 engine and stick a 20b in it.

Assuming they don\'t run the all Japan 7\'s meeting somewhere like Central Circuit as they did in 2005 (8 hour\'s drive from Tokyo - so was poorly attended) and somewhere more sensible like Tsukuba Circuit (As they did this year), then this should be a very well attended event, considering the date!
Can\'t see it being launched so soon though - with Mazda still being so tight lipped about it.
It\'s likely they will release a new RX-7, to compete with the new Supra and GT-R, as well as the all new Lancer Evo and Impreza Sti due for release in 2007.... just don\'t know when...!

I saw a rotary engined Mazda concept car on TV last week (the Senko I think it was called). More of an RX8 replacement as it had suicide rear doors and proper back seats, but a sleaker design especially from the front (didn\'t like the back so much tho.

I hope that\'s not what the new 7 will look like :2eek
they should just take the 99 Spec rx7 make a few little changes, and there we go :Thumbs-up

I agree, I do think that whatever Mazda do then it\'s probably going to be wrong :(

That\'s the most pleasing guess at what the new RX-7 will look like that I have seen - and I like it (I wouldn\'t choose red though). I want the new RX-7 to be refined, echoing quality and class that the likes of Aston and Porsche can (sometimes) pull off so well.
You have to give the tuners/kit designers something to play with, that way the consumer gets to shape the car over the years, plus it will _have_ to re-use parts from the RX-8 to keep the price competetive.

Mazda need to pull there fingers out there arse or there going to be left completely out of the performance market,
I really like the look of the Supra, looks like the Predator from the front !!
Not keen on the new Skyline.
I hope that isnt what the new RX7 looks like, its a blatant copy of a Nissan G35/350z/new GTR. Look at the window shape.
Just looks too ordinary for me !!
99 spec RX7 is perfect !!!
Wow, after seeing the Supra sketches, that RX-7 looks plain - although it is obviously not from Mazda and just someone guessing.
It\'s like Sony (Nissan), Microsoft (Toyota) and Nintendo (Mazda) battling it out with consoles, but the car equivalent.
eek! Looks like a Mazda 6 with huge alloys :(
I dont think they will ever bring another car out like the third gen rx7- it is the perfect sports car in so many ways, and oozes personality and its minor faults add to its charm.

Surely that\'s a photochop using the new TT and the front off the VX?
