krisgowing Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Anyone seen the new RX Concept http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/mazda/rx-8/92982/mazda-rx-vision-tokyo-concept-previews-new-rx-7-coupe I've always been fascinated by the rotary engine, Even thought it's unreliability and downfall still think there a nice bit of kit, Of course nothing on a 2JZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 It's lovely. I suspect well see another rotary from mazda within the next few years. But WTF are Nissan doing? The 2020 concept car is awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamc Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Bonnet length seems very SLS and the styling of the light reminds me of the new Aston... is it going to be anything more than a design concept? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Sub-£30k? Not a chance. New platform... that'll be at least double, and it won't be as well-built or reliable as a Porsche. I'd still take my RWD F-Type R Coupe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still take my RWD F-Type R Coupe. You're right there, I saw the teaser image and I thought "Oh yay an RX7/RX8 revival. I'll start saving!" But it looks more like an F-Type/Porsche/Maserati Fueueueryryyayaya concept competitor so one for the dream car pile... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc92 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I don't really like how it looks. Too long, too wide, nowhere near as good looking as the previous RX7s. I hope if it makes it into production it doesn't look much like this concept. Dorito-powered engines are cool though so if they can get them to be as reliable as regular engines that will be great.

Dnk Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Hope they don't put a rotary in it or it'll devalue quicker than a painting by Rolf Harris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Why such a long front end, how many rotors are they planning to fit under there! http://cdn1.autoexpress.co.uk/sites/autoexpressuk/files/styles/gallery_adv/public/01_rx-vision_h.jpg?itok=ISSwgrWI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 It may have two rotary engines, switchable when the first spits its dummy out. Allowing one to get home at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraP-Z Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Is it me or does that just look a bit....bald. Are there even any wingmirrors on this thing?! Front looks nice, as does interior...the rest looks like a chrysler crossfire to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I see lots of Aston DB7 in that design, and that's no bad thing. But if it makes it to market, it will look a lot different. On that note, apparently we will see a the next evolution of the Toyota FT1 concept in 2016, which will hopefully bridge the gap between the FT1 and a future production car.

Can Terry and I borrow it, people outside Tescos were definitely thinking of giving us a few bob when we were on a bench eating our sandwiches the other night?
