Exclamation Brand NEW special edition RX8 "Nemesis"?!

I found this in the Washington Post express today. I dont know where they got the info because I cant find this car ANYWHERE. I want SPECS damnit!!! Could this thing have a bigger engine or a turbo or something??? If anyone has the info please share. Look at the top of the page. Its a small blurb but its official str8 out the paper and not some rumor or something like that. Let me know what you all think.

They're describing the Shinka. You'll get a new paint color and a different type of leather seats.

That's almost as good as an upgraded engine or turbo, right?

Wow a car with worse mpg then ours.

And it's almost 4000 lbs!

Sorta looks like an Rx-8 with all the edges sanded down.

That's what it seems like to me. It's pretty, for sure... and the price is good for all the extras you're getting but if you really want a car that looks like that, there's nothing extremely special that you couldn't get done by a good body shop.

I agree. Personally I want to see an 8 come from the factory with a turbo or supercharger like every other mazdaspeed product and then call it the nemesis. Hmm how about a an 8 with a 20B engine and FI

With that kind of power I would wish and wait for an STI or an EVO get out of line on the road!

Wink Uk.....

The already sell the Nemesis elsewhere, it's just new here.

In the UK (thats England etc.) they also sell the tarted-up PZ model.

Stiffer shocks, diff colors and suede trim instead of leather. Woop de doo.

UK Nemesis model....

Yeah... now they'll have to come out with something luxurious AND powerful to make up the points, imo.

Specs

The blue's ok, but I'll stick with my Copper Red Shinka, thanks.

Maybe Jeremy on Top Gear will track it so we can see some numbers!
