Mazda RX-8

Anyone know much about this car, i know it was first shown at a car show in 2001, but thats about all i know, i heard its better than the RX-7, but i really dont know much about it.


peace

better? yes and no. The Rx-7 looks much much much nicer, mainly because the 7 was a true sports car where as the 8 is supposed to be a sort of sports sedan. However, performance wise it is better. It uses a 3 rotor rotary engine instead of a 2 rotor. It's non-turbo but it still produces more horsepower then 7's. I think it might be like 100lbs lighter too. As for handling thats yet to be seen. I'd say it has potential if they do some redesigning for a higher end version.

twat? nope its basically the same two-rotor engine as the 7 w/ minor changes and no turbo. it has 250hp instead of the rx-7's 255hp but i think it has more torque (not sure here). i also know it has incredible handling but i don't know enough to compare it to the rx-7
