THANK YOU GOD!!! I'm importing one from Japan, I dont give a ****. New RX-7 WITH a rotary engine. And not just any rotary engine, a 4 ROTOR!!!! I need some time alone right now... I have one question though, in the article they said "when the hood was opened" but then said you wont get pics of the new RX-7 for a while. What hood was opened then?


yes i know its a hoax, I just want it to be true so bad!

 

holy damn, i almost **** myself. I know where i'm living!

 

Uh you did notice the date was April 1st?

 

did you check out the site? it looks legit

 

Yeah, but there a pic of it !!!

 

DAMMIT! april fools.... I hate this day. Yeah I googled it with no result, its a hoax.

 

"Mazda Head Engineer Apru Furu"

that would be the japanese loanword pronunciation (think "dorifto") of April Fool.

 

lol thats funny........"but since it is a Saturday and April 1st, don't expect any photos of a new RX-7 for a while."

 

Thats a r26b, so yes it is a April fools joke.

 

Suckers!!! LOL thats the old 4 rotor lemans engine Look 3 plugs and the veriable velocity stacks. Plus I've had that same pic on my computer for a year or so. If mazda was going to release it at a show it would be at Toyko Auto Salon, DUH!!!

 

Great April Fool's Joke! Must build a model one for my collection.

 

today the RX-7club has had the best April Fools day jokes I've ever seen/heard/read

awesome

 

FOOLS!!!!!!

 

**** i was totaly fooled but **** that would be the fastest car and most expensice to run a 2.4l rotary
we have to sue these bastards for not makin it a production car

 

ok who made this, i hate getting yanged around

this should be in the lounge, i havent looked yet but i bet it is

 

Anybody that actually thought Mazda would put a 4 rotor engine in a production car is out of their mind. I don't personally think Mazda will ever put anything bigger than a 3 rotor into a production car. Its just not financially feasable to put such an engine into a road going car, especially when the power they want can easily be made by a 3 rotor. But hey, this is just my opinion.

 

can you imagine gas mileage on a 4 rotor? if the rx8 gets 20, 4 rotor would get 10, highway....

 

hell yeah it would like owning the new gt40 which only gets 12mpg

 

i bet if mazda made a mazda 4 rotor super car (limited production) and charged a ton of $$$$$$$$$ for it people would buy it.... a rotary mazda version of the f40! that would be bad ***!

 

Not sure... I mean, people with F40 money usually don't spend cash on jap cars... Hell, overhere (europe) people with porsche money wouldn't even buy an FD.

 

what about acura nsx? those are $$$$$$$$$$$$

 

Knew it had to be an April fools gag when I saw the date, and also where it said "only sold in Japan and China due to their lower emissions requirements. As we all know, Japan has some of the world's toughest emissions laws.

Some other notable April fools gags:

1. This news report from the early '90s:

"The city council of Whiterock, BC Canada (a posh beach community with a steep upslope covered with homes having million-dollar ocean views) has approved the construction of a 120 million dollar 20-storey luxury hotel with beach access on Marine Drive adjacent the pier. The new complex is of the prestigeous Blockview hotel chain based in Malasia."

2. In the mid-'90s in New York City a habitual prankster dressed himself as a preist and pedalled through Manhatten on a combination rickshaw/confessional booth, taking confessions from all who felt the need. "It's amazing what some people in New York are willing to confess to" he quipped.

 

I was pumped for a second, scroll down, april fools DAMN that was evil

 

And some 2 rotor would still get 8mpg.

Anyone who could afford to buy a 4 rotor would not be worrying about mpg. I always find it interesting that second hand Ferrari have such low mileage; they sit in the garage with more time spent on polishing them than actually being driven.
