The upshot of the extra displacement should be better performance, as the 16X is said to be capable of up to 350 horsepower and 215 pound-feet of torque versus the RX8's paltry 232 hp and 159 lb-ft.
Seems like it'll at least have some potential if this pans out...

Im skeptical, they could(and probably will) really fuck this up as styling wise the FD RX-7 will be very difficult to follow IMO.

i love FD's. if they make it look ugly, id rather them just keep the rx8 name and call it the next generation.

This.
It will be interesting how they get this 16X engine to conform to US emissions.

There are probably already companies working on swap kits for LS based motors.

Fuck, they should just PRODUCE the motherfukcers with LS motors.

The C5 Corvette and the FD RX7 were penned by the same guy.

That's why they look rather similar.

I also think that’s why the FD RX7 doesn’t look nearly as dated as other cars from the period (300ZXTT, MKIV Supra, etc…)
