It's cool it has that much power but I don't see how it could effectively put that much power to the ground. Those wheels could not handle it and it would loose traction when applying that much power without a slick.

the 3 rotor isn't all that new, but i have not seen it in a rx-8 untill now. what would be really nice is to see the newer rotary from the rx8 engine made into a 3 rotor.

Also, that price is reeeeeeeealy high IMO. And, all that power, but not even upgraded brakes?

I think that's a bit deceptive as well. Considering (I don't know who the modding factory is) you can send out your RX-8 motor to swap for a 3 rotor (yes, for a stupid price) with 800hp.

Here is the three rotor conversion for the older ones...
three rotor

Ok, these guys will do it.

You find me another *3* rotor RX car that looks that nice and puts down that kinda HP

I say it's well justified

Ummm, about any 3rd gen can easily be made that way. Even the 2 rotors can get up around that high of HP as well. And the 3rd Gens look better in my opinion. I'd get a 3rd Gen Banzai Edition if it were me.

Is that a 20B? I'd like to see the new RENESIS engine pushed to the limit with a turbo.

Its actually modular. You just add cylinders as you need.

Cylinders?

Ok, there not cylinders per se. To be honest, I dont know WHAT you call the chamber for the rotor.
Anyways, go to here then click to enter, then click engines on the left hand menu and scroll to the bottom of the page to get an idea of how there modular.
