R34. Supra. RX7. This is what made me fall in love with Japanese sports car, now I'm just disappointed
Probably still the best Japanese designed car!....would love to buy one of these someday....
RX7(1993-2002)? Today at 20 years old! But I want this car & Bodykit with VeilSide!
You are forgetting the r34 skyline. Now that is the best ad Japan ever produced.
Please don't mess this up. And veil side better make a bad as body kit for it too
One of the best automotive designs ever. I love how the metal looks like it's pulled tightly over the chassis.
Description: The new RX-7 will supposedly draw its power from the automaker's latest Wankel engine, the 16X, which was officially revealed back in 2007. It has yet to see use in a production car, and the upco...

Turbos aren't what killed the reliability...it was people modding the engine w/o knowing what they were doing, that did that...if you're gonna increase H/P, you gotta keep AFR correct as well
Well with this potentially being rotary hybrid, you'd get the needed torque that was missing and increased milage, unless you drive it like you should and keep it in high RPMs... When it comes to reliability, it's only as good as the owner.
The turbos are what killed the 13brew in terms of reliability. And for turbo'ing an 8 it was the side seals (if apex's addressed) that would flatten. I'm ALL for NA and 1.6 liters producing 300hp stock? Now imagine that motor bridgeported
It'd been cool to use the electric motor to fill in the torque spread..it seems to me that the hybrid thing would work...
Description: Since rotary Wankels run at constant speeds, this could in turn generate electrical power. The issue of reliability is also something to be worked out because previous Wankel engines required a lot of...

My mom had one just like this but in blue. She really loved it. Can't wait till I can get a new one ;p
Description: Weight is also a vital factor for performance and handling, so Yamamoto is targeting around 2,700 pounds - the same weight as the Scion FR-S. Pricing is projected to come in at a competitive $33,000.

33k is also in 5 years. Im sure the brz will be alot closer to that price by then
As an first 86 winner frs owner I'm not worried. I'd like to see the rotorys become reliable, I love rx7s. But at 33k why not get an Evo and be faster in every aspect and more reliable? IMO it needs to have 300+hp less 2700 or less and be below 30k
I really do want this car to succeed, would be sweet to get it back. I guess only time will tell
The sad part is, for now it seems competitive, but by 2017 we may see little economy cars hitting 200hp plus, sport cars well into the 400hp plus range... So for the new rx to really succeed, it may need more then the stated 300hp. I
I've driven a few RX8s. These engines aren't crazy powerful but adequate and have the silkiest powerbands.
Yea but the fc had a lot going for it even though the engine wasn't the best
This car was short only about 40hp NA. Take the 7s turbos away and you have an incredibly weak motor
I do love the way this car looks. Just wish it was faster and more reliable...can't wait for 2017
I drive one of these every day. It's almost creepy how much I love it.
FD. No question. FC is great although I've never got used to the dated interiors even for the time.
I'll believe it when I see it, and not some render. It's been speculated ad nauseam for the better part of 10 years.
New RX-7? Yes! I used to have a RX-8 that I put a twin turbo kit on. It was the best car I ever owned but it got old and I had to sell it. The only sports car Mazda offers is the speed 3 which is a front wheel hatch not a sports car, I need rotary!
The 2013 models are coming out now so in less than 3 years it will be marketed. Seems legit to talk about it now if it is really under development.
I say it may be good timing, say of you just recently bought a car with a 60 month loan, it might be up or time for an upgrade to rx7! That's my case. My car loan is done in 2017!
Praise the rotary lowd!!
I agree with all the afore mentioned, as much as I would love to see this thing come back 2017 and we're talking about it in 2012 seriously. (Yawn) Seeing is believing!! Show me the money!!
No more speculation and gives all rotards relief that it's actually happening lol
2017?! Why even mention anything?!
Why did they take so long . Hopefully it's worth the wait
Man, I love the RX-7 & 8 but I'll be so happy to see this come back
