Good try, its isn't acually a 1.3L, they kinda cheat when they get that number. It is more like a 2.6, it gets a little subjective when you are calculating the displacment for a rotary...

if they build that car, then imagine what the mazdaspeed rx-7 (if it gets built) will be like.

I like the car for the car alone...

... the styling is something to be desired. looks stubby to me. I could see how it would look good, but it still could have been better.


the engine alone makes me

Apparently it is actually a 1.3L, 654cc X 2.

No its not a 1.3 Liter, its a 2.6 Liter. The way they calculate 1.3 is subjective. The engine is just as big as yours!!!
If you want to know more about it read sport compact car May's edition.
Do you measure your cars displacement with just the displacement of one cylinder?? Well, thats what Mazda does on its Renesis's engine.
Don't go around telling people its a 1.3 because it is clearly not.

OK Mazda must be mistaken about the size of their engine, I apologize.
