Although it's a sweet car, I'm with olddragger on this one.

The engine bay looks pretty empty but what's in there really counts cause that looks like a fun car to drive, to say the least.

+1 but I'd love to drive it. Can I pass inspection with that rear CF window?

Why does it have to a street car to appreciate the build? Or the appearance?

What a bunch of ******** in this thread.. You guys are complaining that a purpose built circuit car isn't streetable? I hope you guys never take a look at a race car, they're awfully cool looking but fall short on practicality.. "That Mazda 787B is just horrendous, the damn thing doesn't even have cruise control! I mean seriously, how could you even drive a car without any creature comforts, it just wouldn't be comfortable."

Admire this thing for what it is - an RX-8 built to destroy lap times, with no compromises.

For those who aren't here to complain that an orange is not simultaneously a banana, I hope you guys have seen Revolution's previous track car.

Before 8, there was 7.. And it's also a beast:


Full carbon FD? Yes, please

Obvious it is a Time Attack car OR just a show car.
It would be hell to drive on the street? It appears there is no power brakes, no power steering and no a/c and no heater. Look at the big air tube to feed the passenger comparment? I do bet it gets hot in there.
Only way they could put that engine so far back is cutting into the firewall a little?
Not that is an excellant job---it is. But it looks like it is a purpose built car that will not see the street or very little of it.
I havent read the article.

Like others have mentioned... nothing wrong with appreciating a clean engine bay, even if it's not intended for street use. I noticed the lack of all of those things and still thought it was a beautiful engine bay. Half the reason it looks that clean is the removal of those parts. It would still be fun to take around a track a few times.

Isn't this car scheduled to compete in the upcoming time attack and so far it has the 53 track time mark? Only 2 seconds slower than the ARTA NSX record (JGTC with slicks)
