I recently attended a local drift event and i met this kid there with a rx8 who i started talking to and he told me that his dealer told him he herd that a 2005 rx7 will have a 1.5L N/A rotary engine...and that it will be offered in a turbo form called MazdaSpeed Rx7 ...



i dont know if this rumor has been around for a wile but i just herd of it recently and wondering i anyone else has herd of it?





then again its just a rumor...

 

Never heard of it. Sounds cool tho.

 

Was this kid in jersey?

 

yea from jersey

 

that would be nice, but it may be too good to be true

 

He propably heard it from road and track. They said something that a turbo version will be the mazdaspeed version. But they have yet to bring the seven back. So this is just a rumor from mazda. And i thought that they would keep the engine a 1.3 liter?

 

i hope they do and pray to god that it is pretty

 

i hope it looks nothing like the rx8 and more like the FD

 

I've seen the prototype pix that Mazda has released and the FE is based on the RX-8's chassis. It unfortunatly resembles the 8 as well. Don't get me wrong, I love the RX-8, but there's just something so sexy about the body lines of an FD. But the displacement increase as well as the "MazdaSpeed Turbo" version were in an official press release from Mazda Japan. Just thought I would try to shed some light on the subject. Laterz.

I've also heard that there would be a larger version of the Renesis, I think 1.5L was the figure I heard as well.



Zach you don't happen to have more details on that press release?
