Oh crap... that is bad news... :(
Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

Judging by the errors in that article I wouldn\'t hold too much store by it.
We warranty our rebuilt engines for Detonation, track day\'s and RWYB and NOW for 30 months which is two and half years or 30,000 miles
We also build all types of race or road engines.
We build race and track cars too.
Any kind of porting undertaken.
Single turbo conversions.

What He Said.

It\'s not filling me with confidence regarding the accuracy of their reporting.

Apparently putting details of your car spec in your signature means the nice folks on exile-rotorsport think you\'re a fool.  I can think of no higher compliment!

its in several car news articles I am afraid guys.
And lets face it , it will be years before they will be able to get a get rotary engine to pass the latest EU emission requirements eg laser ignition,Direct Injection
Not much profit in yet so why make a large investment

Sadly, the sentiment of the article is accurate.  It\'s not going to happen in the near to moderate future.

Strange, I thought a follow up to the RX-7 was announced and due around 2015 aiming to compete with the FR-S/BR-Z?

Wouldn\'t be shocked to find out this is true though, with rapidly tightening emissions laws and rising fuel costs the practicality of a Rotary car is diminishing.

Sad times.

yeah i think this new job is just changing the direction on how Mazda operate, and is tasked in increasing the bottom line
