I Like Your Old Brap Better Than Your New Brap

[*LOACH*]

Is this new news or have I missed the discussion on here about it. New RX7 in 2017. Will be NA. Many sads will be had.

I heard that it will come out 13b turbo aswell? if not I'll be spewing, would have loved to get one to sit next to my series 3 and r34.

I thought they might have been discontinuing the 13B and focussing on the 1.6 litre rotary - only my assumption based on the low volume they produce though. If they do bring out a turbo rotary powered car that weighs about as much as the FT86 it should be pretty popular - considering how popular the FT86 is and it is probably a little underpowered. Could be pricey though.

so, 300hp from a 4.8l motor?

lame.

and doubt they will do a turbo model.

ONE of the reasons the rx8 never saw a turbo, was due to the fact they couldnt make it meet the euro emissions.

I've never understood why people get so excited about a car company reviving a model ages after it was canned. people get all excited and then butthurt when it's nothing like the original. of course it's going to be nothing like the original. Times have changed. sure it may loosely resemble the original, but it isn't going to be the same as what it was. no-one would buy it if it was. essentially the rx7 never died, it just got rebadged as the rx8. just like nissan reviving the pulsar name. it never really got canned, three name just got changed to tida.

was interesting to read that it is going to cost more than something like a 370z, so it is probably not going to sell that well.

I didn't.

Nothing beats an old 1st gen RX-7 with a bridgeport and bib pipes.

I am "not allowed to own one" because I "love" my neighbours. (According to my girlfriend, I don't like annoying other people - it's not like I TRY to annoy people by owning an RX7 with a 5 minute warmup symphony.)

I want my old 1st gen back.

I says f**k the neighbors , I love my series 3 rx7 with a 13b massive bridgeport 3" straight through exhaust with a varex that only gets used when there's some pork around, it's lovely how when I get home at 3am and you see all the houses in the street light up haha lol.
