Thoughts on the Mazda RX-9, or as I like to call it: Mazda SLR?

Needs more rotors.
>Rotor deactivation when

Am saving up now just in case i want to buy it when it comes out in 2020. I always wanted an FD, but pussied out and bought a new STI instead.

I hope Mazda doesn't fuck it up.

Owning one is my only long term goal at the moment, since I know the Toyota Supra will turn out shitty.

I actually hate it. The hood is too long, too huge for the tiny rotary engine that's the main feature. The window space is nonexistent. It seems stupid.

>inb4 75% of hood covers the cooling system for massive tarbos

>>16251948
>what is a concept car

They all look retarded as concepts, then they fix them for release

They just want people to go "oooooo, aaaaaaa" when they first see it.

E-Type proportions. Done better. Hoping it's a 3 rotor turbo with a 6 speed manual, and that Mazda puts in a well built interior for once.

Disclaimer: biased, I own an FB.

Looks terrible but I look forward to seeing what they do with the new engine improvements they've been pumping money into.

The RX-Vision was just that: some designer's vision. The real RX-9 will be shorter, have realistic mirrors, and (hopefully) have smaller wheels. Once they actually release the final design for it will any visual critiques be relevant.

>>16251948
>too huge for the tiny rotary engine
That's because the rotary is dead

ITT: retards who think a concept will look anything like the finished product

>>16252468
so the hood is meant to be like a casket?

>>16251957
nah m8 it just means there'll be enough room to drop a LS1 in there

>>16251881
The hood needs to be longer and the cabin needs to be moved back further

It's a 3 x 4 instead of a 1 x 12 but 12 rotors none the less:

I have wondered about how boats get around propeller cavitation tho
gets me thinking that hp is not really a priority

>>16251896

hold on

>Did you know that the FD RX-7, one of the most legendary Mazdas ever, made do with just two rotors? Please. Even the Eunos Cosmo, a car at which we can only gaze from afar, had just one more rotor than that.
2+1 = 3.
>To match the creation that Tyson Garvin has created, you would have to multiply the Eunos Cosmo's rotors by three, then add three more rotors.
3*3=9, 9+3=12
>Then divide that by four, then add five more rotors.
12/4=3, 3+5=8
>Then take away two, because you've gone too far.
8-2=6
>And then you'll have
SIX ROTORS.

>5,000 horsepower

>>16251881
I'll get one if it's around $50k.

>>16253188
Honestly how good is that? Can't smaller Veeates get comparable or more horsepower?
