Subject: (rx7) [8] interesting

Hmmmm interesting...

Whilst Mazda's engineers are quick to deny that they will produce a

turbocharged version of the RENESIS engine, principally because of the
effect that process has on exhaust emissions, they do acknowledge that
they are working on a supercharged version. This supercharged prototype
is officially limited to 206kW, [278 HP] but produces an incredible torque, said
to be some 375Nm at 4000rpm. Our sources also tell us that the
supercharged version will in fact churn out 238kW, [319] and in racing form
will be easily capable of producing 298kW (400bhp).

I guess they paid attention to what I said after I drove the RX8 after
all :)
