Our spy photographers have caught the first pictures of Mazda's 2012 RX-7.

Spied wearing a Mazda6 body, the RX-7 chassis mule appears to feature adapted front and rear ends as seen in the protruding headlights and bumper at the front end. If previous reports are correct, the final product will resemble the stunning Furai concept of 2008.

Under the hood, power will be provided by a turbocharged 1.6-liter Renesis 16X Wankel engine with at least 300 hp. This should allow the RX-7 to easy outgun the RX-8 and its 232 hp 1.3-liter Renesis engine.

Despite being the successor to the RX-8, Mazda decided to use the RX-7 name (instead of RX-9) because it would evoke memories of the classic RX-7 produced between 1978 and 2002.

Look for a RX-7 market launch in the end of 2011 as a 2012 MY.

at least take a picure of a 2dr coupe or do some photoshopping....this is totally not convincing

looks like somse sort of insect or alien

Learn to read.

A 1.6L rotary is interesting. This would be the first displacement bump since going to the 1.3 in the mid-eighties.

lol the eyes from that picture reminds me of insects.

looks like a shopped 6 lol i don't understand the point of these things

probably for a bit more torque for the NA market.

rotary is a dieing breed, a failed design. High maintenance like a bitch, yet unreliable. NO one uses that shit other than mazda

Car manufacturers are pretty sneaky when it comes to test mules.

Lets use the Honda NSX Mule for example

Shits son. You should fucking read.

So much fucking fail in this thread I can't even handle it. I really hope half of you are joking.

That is NOT what the fucking car is going to look like. They slap a body on the chassis (mule) and test out the car, basically testing everything about the car minus aerodynamics and interior aesthetics.

Am I wrong?

^ You're wrong. It's exactly how it'll look like when it's released. ;)
