If you think the RX-8 is ugly you should see the concept for the 4th gen RX-7 inthe Sept. Road & Track it's even uglier!!!!
From what I know, that was just a computer generated image that they derived from the RX-8 photos. I agree, what they came up with looks awful.

I recently got the Mazda promo cd in the mail. It has vid of the rx8 driving. I'm telling you it doesn't look so bsd when it's moving. Actually the front looks a hell of alot like a fd believe it or not.

People will buy jars of urine if you come up with a snappy gimmick for them.

It's supposed to be around $30-35K U.S., but we'll see. I don't know if the side exhaust ports will have the energy of the older style peripheral exhaust ports. The exhaust energy is what lets the motors use such large turbos to make alot of power.

I think to produce about 350RWHP I won't need a turbo sized like a T78 or T51 R Kai.

even a smaller one or a tt would do that job

am I wrong?
