Rx7 Looking Like A Z

[Old Man Z]

Maybe Mazda will beat Nissan at its home game?

The RX7 has always been a great sports car, except for the engine, so Mazda can do the job. This will be interesting providing it's a proper sports car and not some battery powered thing.

The engine is my favorite part of mine.

 

I don't think we will see another Wankel powered sports car, given emissions, fuel consumption and reliability concerns (when put in the hands of the average punter who thinks oil changes are optional).

 

If we do it will be a hybrid, that's my 2 cents.

I hear VW is working on a rotary, they reckon they can get it through emissions

Very Very Funny.

I suspect we have only seen the tip off the iceberg with VW emissions fiasco.

When you say tip of the iceberg, is that another way of saying more manufacturer's are going to be red faced or that VW's issues go even deeper than this?

 

I actually don't think we will see another rotary powered RX-7 again, given emissions restrictions the rotary is just too inefficient in this regard and I can't see it working unless it is a range extended hybrid powered rotary/electric combo.

I don't think there will be too much come from other manufacturers.

The thing that is interesting is that VW in Aus have not yet responded to questions regarding the status of Aus delivered vehicles.
