It looks like an Infinit G35, Aston Martin, and RX-8 had sex and that was the result.
I would rather pick up the Hyundai Genesis as well, or a EVO X.

I LIKE THE ASTON!

I won't be excited about anything Mazda releases until it can SOMEWHAT compare to the FD - which I don't see happening.
Many other imports are going back to turbo monsters - EVO, GTR etc... get with the program MAZDA.

I think mazda is taking car of alot of problems with the new 16x rotary engine... I noticed it hase 3 oil injection nozzles per rotor, Insted of only one!! I hope that takes care of the apex seal lube problem.(I just run premix)
I really like the idea of direct injection for the fuel. It looks like the secondary injectors inject directly into the combustion chamber, and the primarys look like there in the primary ports....
One of my favorite features of the new 16X is that they stoped making the irons out of iron. The new aluminum side housing must be so lite!!!
The stroking idea is cool to its a good way to get more displacement out of the engine, And add torqe to the whole power band!!!
BUT will stroking a rotary lower the redline like a piston engine???

I say no because you are just scaling all of the parts. All of the load supporting parts will be upsized with the increase in rotor size, and stroke. In a piston engine, the block is typically unchanged, and the redline is lowered to return piston speeds to the design spec for the original engine. In addition, you now have more displacement breathing through the same valves as the original engine, so the engine will reach its torque and power peaks sooner, and run out of breath sooner. With this new rotary, they can upsize everything to accomodate the increase in displacement.
