[Shaggy]

Anyone here about these??

This is the only thing I've ever really found picture wise.

But it's still up to speculation obviously. I've heard talk of a new rx7 in 2006, which would make sense considering the widely popular sales of the rx8 will start dropping around that time. I think they'll be turbocharging rx8s sometime in 2005 -2006 then producing the new rx7s in 2007 personally. something along those lines, but then again nothing is confirmed. I'm just speculating on business sense.
It would make my day to have a new rx7 with the improved renesis to smoke all of these trash talking new cars.

[Shaggy]

That would be sweet to see..and that pic looks great.

But why would the make a 4th Gen if the 8's out? Why make RX8 if you are still planning to develope another RX7?

[Shaggy]

Anyone here got any more news on the 4th Gen RX7??

the rx8 is a 4 door 4 seat car, although some 4th gens came with rear seats I would imagine that they be kept strictly 2 seaters if they where to come out new. Also I doubt they would turbo the rx8 as well as the rx7.. It wouldnt be a smart move at all as a business or marketing stand point. I think they are gunna keep the rx8 n/a if they come out with the 7, but if not then I believe that Mazda Speed would be quick to turbo them. I have a feeling that if they do come out witht he rx7 that its gunna stay over seas and never come over here... but who noes...

Well actually the new rx7 is planned to have wider rotors and therefore a higher displacement with the Renesis design somewhere in the 2.0L + range. They will not be coming stock turbocharged. The rx8 is intended to be more of a sport sedan actually, although it isn't bad as a sports car. By delaying the sales of the cars in the order I mentioned before would get a lot of people to hop from rx8 to turborx8 to rx7. The dealers I have spoke with about this all agree with me.

Well....Aus..where are you getting you info on the 4th gen..I really haven't found much about them anywhere, then again..I really haven't looked to hard ;)

Do you have a site where I can see more info?

[2ROTORMOTOR]

I tend not to trust dealers... they usually talk alot of shit.... they told me that the is300 was gunna have the 430 engine by 2005... thats bullshit... and they were like by 2004 they were gunna have coupe models....

Dealesr aren't the ones I'm getting the 4th gen info from. I was getting the sales info from them about how they think mazda is planning on releasing things.

If they made a new RX-7, wouldn't the new RX-7 be a 2 door RX-8 or based off the RX-8? If that's the case might as well leave RX-7 name alone and move on to RX-9.

[Shaggy]

I wouldn't think they would base it off the 8 style, but who knows..they may not even make it....;)

[2ROTORMOTOR]

you'd be surprised the whole line of mazda excluding the mx5 resembles the rx8... so I would doubt that mazda would come out with some shit completely different... and hopefully they get everything right this time around....Im guessing the pic of the rx7 concept above is actually a concept they came out with while trying to create the rx8

No this (http://www.mazdadesign.net/RX8/sketch.htm) is the rx8 concept.
I've seen numerous rx7 concepts that look like the previous post of mine
Edit: thanks for pointing my mistake out rotor

[2ROTORMOTOR]

thats the rx8 concept...

[Hollywood]

I heard rumor last night that the mazdaspeed Rx8 will be turbo.

[AusTexRex]

Yeah. Anything mazdaspeed is turbo.

[Hollywood]

its comming out soon?

[AusTexRex]

I wouldn't think so, it'll probably be at least 6 months.

[dub-c]

ya, its a rumor. dont hold your breathe. ask 7tim, hes got more info.

[AusTexRex]

7tim post your info.

[black rocket]
