New Japanese sports/supercars

STi Transporter · 03-17-2006, 07:54 PM

Has anyone seen the new issue of Road & Track with the previews of upcoming Japanese sports/supercars.

It's pretty cool, although they have the GT-R, Supra, LF-A, RX-7, S2000 (replacement), NSX, and Evo X, all they had for Subaru was the S204.

A lot of unknown and confusing facts about these cars though.

I just looked at the cover of it at Walgreens. Was the RX-7 boosted yet?

Ye, great article, little confusing though..
They saying Lexus IS500 coupe will eat new M3 and has 0-60 in 5.0 seconds.. Go figure...
NEw Supra with 450hp, 387 torque looked awesome, hopefully it will be a go product (Corvette eater, and much more reliable)..
RX7 would be small car with rotary I believe..

Honestly, I don't think even Mazda knows what they're going to do with the car.

In the article it says that they went into it just building a new car and didn't really have any intention of making it the RX-7, but they did however build the car in a way that left them space to put in a rotary engine. The designer also said that the Kabura (concept name) isn't really what the next generation RX-7 should like.
