Title: New Rx7 ????
Post by: gsb876 on April 30, 2011, 01:34:22 PM
Not sure if this has been posted thus far? But from the front it looks very interesting but the rear is not as good.

Performance figures are estimated at 350bhp from 1.3 wankel engine:

It looks like someone\'s been at R3 with a hammer.  Not as nice.  Hopefully they get a new wankel out though.

Not sure they are just concept cars, just look at the back side window between the top and 2nd window. The don\'t match up. Plus the front end is different.

I thought the cars in the current mazda ads was the new RX9 and RX7 ???

One thing for sure an aftermarket front end would be in order !

I reckon the cars in the Mazda ads are what the next Mazda 6 is going to look like.  The ones in the ads aren\'t sexy enough for coupes!

The more i look at it the better it seems, from the photo angle its quite mean but the rear is poo as it stands, lets see how it turns out when it hits production.

And it was a 1.6 rotary setup not the 1.3 i quoted :2Confused

Wish they would learn that less is more. Either it should be as mad as a bag of badgers or minimal. In between just doesn\'t work !

Looks like they\'re going in the right direction, but just the wrong way about it.

Finally a rotary hybrid! Looks like they\'re going about the hybrid technology in the wrong way though

your right there, most new \'sport\' models or coupes just look like they are straight out of a maxpower magazine, massive plastic bumpers, different lines running everywhere, just to much going on.

If they want mad just bang another rotor on the 16x an stick it in the back of a Furai.

Definately feels like we are going through a maxpower generation.
