ive never seen the first one before. The second one is the kabura, its a concept.

hideous what happened to smooth simple styling?

the next gen 7 will be the kabura, it was at the detroit auto show and took high makes in almost every thing. at the time it had the 2.0 motor in it and not rotary but the info i got from mazda when i was workin at the dealer was it was goin to come out has the gen 4 rx7 with a 3 rotor motor in it and not the turbo motor. now givin that info take it as you may as i didnt belive it myself and wont untill i see it in person on the dealership floors

i have also seen the kabura. not in person but through a lot of internet searching. it was scheduled to come out with the miata 2.0 motor. but now theres "talk" about a rotary being the power plant and calling it the new rx7. i want another R-powerd car. but not a 4th gen rx7. dont ruin the legacy. the rx8 was damage enough. (not bashing it, but the car is sub-par in my opinion)

if they do something, I still won't get one.

I recently went to Zoom ZOom live in ATL and their promotional video showed next gen rotary. It was all blurred out, but the outline of the car did look like Kabura.



I've always believed that 3 rotor should be brought back to production. Its the only way rotaries could compete with V8 cars such as Z06. If next gen does come out with 3 rotor NA and make over 350HP stock, I'll buy one:)

yeah me too. mileage is about 30% worse, but they sound great, and its got power!

I don't care for the look. Mazda has been getting funkier every year IMO. Essentially every car they sell no looks like a RX8 or some variation of it. I think they should hire a new design group, possibly and Italian to come up with something special for the RX7 moniker.

agree.. our new mx-5 looks like smaller vs. of rx8... and i'm not that fond of 8s.
