lol......didn't you know that for every "brap" that is 25 gained horsepower? so if you have the "brapbrapbrap" exhaust that's 75 HP by just opening the exhaust!

 

whats the sticker price??????

 

 

Its still the 13b which is a 1.3liter. I'm not sure how the configure 1.3L, but poppasmirf has it closer that I would be able to explain.

Sticker is anywhere from 25,xxx, to 33,xxx. Currently we are asking for roughly a 4k markup. Who knows if that will stick.

goobster... I have to agree with poppasmirf...you need to some research on the rotary engine.

 

wait... i thought they were running some new "renesis" motor... something about bigger rotors, lighter construction, different ports? i'd say that's miles away from a 13b...

 

I want to get a in person look at one...I'll have to go check out Mazda I hear that they get louder once you get up in the revs...

 

Interesting car. Look forward to seeing one on the street. They make pretty good power (250bhp), but very little torque (159lb-ft). Both numbers are at fairly high RPM (8200/5500 respectively). Comes with a 6-speed option, which is a good thing on a motor that has to spin so high to make power. I kind of liked the old RX-7 exhaust note...kinda.

 

They have made some changes such as relocating the exaust ports to the rotary chamber side housing also where the intake ports are located which eliminates the timing overlap of intake and exaust ports giving the engine more stable combustion and better fuel economy.
The renesis rotary engine is still the 1.3L 2 rotor in-line engine that has two sections each containing a rotor. Then there is an eccentric shaft ( like a crankshaft in a piston engine) which sits 180 degrees out of phase putting the power to a flywheel.

The intake and exaust ports are larger than any naturally aspriated rotary engine by 30%. This reduceds intake flow resistance also improving fuel efficency and reducing emissions.

Its the same 13b that they have been making changes to for many years.
This time they are calling it the Renesis which is 30% lighter and 20% smaller than before.
Basically they have made some major inprovements.
-Leaner fuel mixture
-increased combustion efficiency and fuel economy
-reduced emissions
40% less fuel consumption at idle than the rx7

 

still the slowest car out of all the cars in the 30k range there

evo 8- faster
sti- faster
cobra- faster

now if they make a TT RX8 for production, that bitch will be BAD ASS
