Now that its public, I think I can say that this RX-3 concept has been in the wings for over a year. Mazda officials from japan & USA told me about this car last year & said its part of a line up of 3-different rotary powered cars.

RX-3 will be an affordable entry level rotary car
RX-8 will continue to the series-II & series-III & beyond
???? will get a rotary option (finally) & make up the third RX powered car

There was an Official Announcement?
Have I missed something, it's always been just a rumour like RX7!

I can't afford a $50,000 car. I want an RX that's priced like a 3, drives like a miata, and while I'd prefer it to be a sleek little coupe, if it were a 3-door, it would be ok as long as it drove the right end. I'm not interested in convertibles or turbos or 4-seaters.

A new rx-7 ehh! Okay, the first thing I'd have to ask for is more refinement out of the renisis 1.3 liter. A few more horses in the manual wouldn't hurt as well as addressing some of the ridiculous problems I've heard about in other forums (i.e. claims of coolant leaking into the oil pan). The second would styling far from that of the rx-8 which looks sorta dopey with the back two suicide doors. The 50/50 weight distribution makes superb handling and when coupled with a sport suspension, you have a great handling car. Not to mention that the fd engine had only 13 moving parts which is great for and internal combustion engine. I saw an article the other day about a new turbo rx-8 which produced something like 330-350 hp. That kinda power would make a new rx-7 a great competitor against the mustang, s2000, 350z, corvette, and many other sports/pony cars. However, for this to be feasable, the body styling would really have to change from the rx-8. Mazda has been in need of a true sports car for some time now and has the foundation for a very good machine here. The following link goes to a thread featuring an article about the possibility of a new rx-7 and a computer illustration of what it might look like.http://forums.beyond.ca/showthread/t-68500.html
I think this design is pretty sexy. Glassed in headlights will be the way to go. The new rx-7 should also blend styling cues from both the FC and FD.

Leave the car body alone, the 93-95 style is still comparable to the best looking porsches IMO. Add a Renesis 3 rotor or use the 20b 3 rotor. 300-350hp single or twin turbo. As long as it is turbo. 3 rotors will be needed to keep us up with the Z06. I do not want to see the RX-7 second rate to an American Domestic. Its time to regain our glory. The RX-7 was and still is one of the most respected cars on the road. Do not mess up the RX-7 like this RX-8. That little of power on a 3 rotor was a disgrace.

rx7 and i need more power than that...huhuhu..2 rotor seems not enough for me and for a title sportscar... :)

I have 2004 RX-8 Automatic. It has plenty of power for me. I hope they give the people a choice in the matter of Turbo or not. I heard from my Mazda mechanic, who has a 1993 RX-7 and an RX-8, the Hot 7 really does get hot from all that power. The result is a lot of shop time and money. Give me a weaker and more reliable RX-7 Please.

You contradict yourself so many times in your numerous posts.
You stated that you have an Rx-8 auto that has plenty of power for you
but yet you want a turbo. Why did you buy the RX-8 anyway? And why in the world did you get an auto.? I just bought an 05' 6sp and couldn't be happier. The RX-7 has gone the way of the dinosaur dude. If Mazda had any intention of returning the RX-7 to market I don't beleive that they would have put so much into the marketing of the 8. I have a friend who works for Mazda NA and he stated that there would have to be a heavy
demand in order for Mazda to re-introduce the RX-7. Most preliminary
indications I have seen show now such demand exists. That's why Mazda is putting alot of it's resources into marketing the 8.

subject:	RX-8 as a substitute for a real (2 seater) sportscar...

New guy here...

I had two RX-7s the last a '87 Turbo II and I loved 'em both. I didn't get a FD (third gen) because of all the troubles my brother (and others) experienced with thiers.

I waited as Mazda let the car die here in the states and was greatly disapointed in the 'family truckster' RX-8 when it came out. I'm not against the RX-8, you family guys need a Rotary Rocket too, but a two seater with back doors is kinda silly and on top of that, the car just isn't attractive.

I'm running a NB MX-5 right now and it's not a bad little car, but it isn't a Wankel and it simply isn't big enough for my traveling needs. If there is no RX-7 in a year or so, I'll very likely be driving a C6 Corvette in the future.

The choice is really up to Mazda. They left all thier faithful RX-7 owner/drivers without a car.

The reasons why the RX7 gets hot is due to the precat, radiator, and exhaust. When you change these parts with aftermarket ones, it doesn't get hot anymore. My 94 RX7 runs perfectly cool. Peter Farrell is a good recommendation for exhaust and downpipe. Fluidyne, for the radiator.

I love my RX8 bottom line.
How retro and lightweight are some of you liking?
Example, do you want trunk padding and carpet?
How does a coupe the size of a Mazda 3 sound?
Do you mind or want accessories that add weight like power seats and sunroof?
Have you personally driven a Miata and what did you think of the drive?

1995 was a bad year for all rotory lovers in America. Mazda needs to realize the market for a new turbo charged rotory sports car. That has only two doors, and two seats. I'll have to buy a '95 if Mazda won't bring us a new one.

Mazda have a hard act to follow with the FD series RX7. The next will need to be an absolute gem. They alreay have the chassis to do it on, the RX8. I am interested in the possibility of an entry level rotary. People have postulated over another RX3. I do doubt we'd ever see a carby on a rotary again (old school) but a detuned RENESIS could be a good guess as a power plant to also slot into the Miata. Or back to a 12A displacement engine,(a 13B with narrower rotors)? As the Mazda6 is probably going all wheel drive, could the mazda3 (Sportif) be having a rear wheel drive, Rotary conversion?

Just give me the old FD and give me 300+ hp with a 4 rotor single turbo....We want an engine that can keep us up with the Z06.....the FDs engine can barely keep up with the new one coming out even when the FD is fully modded

3 rotor renesis would be the way to go for these guys, it would require minimum tooling to get going versus a larger displacement two rotor, there is no need for it to be expensive either, keep it simple, and keep it NA, it would produce the hp numbers they would want and reliablility of NA as well, the up side is when the aftermarket guys such as myself get ahold of it and start boosting it, the aftermarket will explode. and hp numbers will be nice and high, keep it around a realistic 2500 2600lbs and you'll have a great car. 550-650lbs lighter than a Z06 is not too bad. Mazda could do this, and they could do it for a reasonable price.(RX8 coupe) Keep in mind it is not going to go against the more expensive ZO6 or Viper, but the Vette, Mustang and EVO and STI. I think part of it may be they want to get their investment out of the RX8 first, then spread it's cost over other platforms. Whatever the reason may be they could and should do it, and at least by 06.
