WIDTH=114 HEIGHT=90>News is slow these days, I suspect many magazines and websites are either preparing new articles about the RX-EVOLV
or starting their winter holiday early. So, to keep this site alive, while I work on the Rotary-Australia story, I've decided to
see who out there would want shirts from this site. I started a poll on the left, (or click on the
link below) to see the full designs.


Depending on the response, I'll have them made after the new year... I might also make up
embroidered polo shirts and hats, but those are more expensive.

Mazda wants the rotary-powered RX-Evolvsports car to be part of its future
(Thanks to David Lane for this synopsis)
Buy the magazine. Automobile (certainly one of the most
conservative of the mainstream mags) is excited about this car.
Update: 2/6/2000Here is the
article on the Automobile Mag Website

I found a quicktime movie or two on Mazda Australia's website showing the EVOLV in action. It lacked a soundtrack, so I pasted one in there. Click on Read Full Article to see the movie (You need Quicktime 4 or a recent version of Xanim for UNIX. I'm working on an MPEG version too.)

Editors note: This image looks very similar to this one that Nick changed around when the evolv first came out

Mazda wooed Tokyo Motor Show goers with the killer 4-door RX-Evolv concept, but in reality, the Wankel-engined
flagship RX-7 model will still be a coupe model.

It will retain the motor show front fenders and slim hood, but the profile will be of a more conventional 2-door coupe.
The engine will still be twin-rotaries, and power will still be a naturally-aspirated 280ps (all this power from twin 654-cc
puny engines?).

The Tokyo Motor Show was the tip of the iceberg.
GEORG KACHER reports that more than a dozen
coupes and roadsters are in the wings.

Mazda is working on not one, not two, but five new sporty cars. And Toyota, Honda, Subaru and even the beleaguered Nissan will soon whip the covers off exciting new performance cars.

Evolution or revolution?
Designed as a successor to the long-popular RX-7 sports car, the four-door RX-Evolv was
one of a handful of stylish concept vehicles Mazda Motor Co. rolled out at October’s
Tokyo Motor Show. But whether or not RX-Evolv ever goes into production, it underscores
the new direction being taken by the troubled Japanese automaker.

Are these two "spy photos" actual photos of concept or
production cars that Mazda plans to introduce to the US?
Since MADS 1998, there has been rumors of alteast two (2)
Rotary powered vehicles that would be introduced by Mazda.
One has come to be, the RX-EVOLV, but are the two others real,
or just internet hocus-pocus?

Join the
threads to voice your opinion
on these two rumored vehicles, and on the RX-EVOLV.

CBS News this morning ran a story about the Tokyo Autoshow. Their lead in Graphic was
the RX-EVOLV! Durring the story, they only showed the Nextourer and Neospace.
No Mention of the RX-EVOLV in the story however.

The first sports cars
were barely civilized racecars, with only fenders and headlight
separating them from the cars on the track. As sports cars evolved
over the years, more creature comforts were added – tops, side
windows, heaters, air conditioning, and sound systems. Even with
this evolution, most sports cars have had only two seats. Until now.
