Such a rip off of the s2000 in the front. Only has a 1.3L engine. Looks like CRAP. I thought this was supposed to be an upgraded version of the fast rx-7. This is a four seater with invisible back doors, that's neat and kool for a sports car. Would this even be considered a sports car? I havent herd anything much about the power but does it have any?
I think this car is a discrase.
I think this car is a grace.
You fail to mention the most significant part of the specification: It has a rotary engine.
With rotary engines, establishing capacity is rather ambiguous.
1.3L is just one way of measuring.However, as the rx does not have cylinders, you *cannot* speak of cylinder displacements. Look at the power and torque specs instead.
The rx8 delivers more HP from its little rotary engine, than my 2nd gen
5.7L camaro does.Bram
Yea I didn't know that it had rotary engines in them. Still not up to date on exactly how they work because they seem too complicated to understand from just reading about it. That's alot of HP from a 1.3L engine. I just dont like the way it looks but the added back seats is killer.
You didn't know the RX 's had rotary engines in them and you come on here to talk trash? I've driven a 93 RX7 and it is a blast. Fun little car. Not as quick as my LS1 though :) The RX8 is ugly in my opinion and definitely needs a turbo... but you kind of make yourself look stupid by saying "it only has a 1.3L engine."
You really should learn how a rotary engine works. Quite interesting.
I wouldn't personally consider the RX8 a sports car. However, I would agree with you that it is a disgrace compared to the last generation.

Honestly, this is a good place to talk trash about imports. Ricers stink.

LOL. What did he think the R stood for in RX-7/8? Rotory experimental? Too obvious, couldn't be that.

Would a turbo even work with a rotary?
Yes, any internal combustion engine can benefit from more fuel and air intake. The rotary engine ( Wankel ) works better than most designs when supercharging is added. Look at the pic on the link below and see just how wierd these engines look internally.
