Turbo four rotor Mazda sports car.

I just read about the $1.3 million US  1000 HP 16 cylinder turbo charged
Bugatti/VW sports car. I like the idea of the computer controlled
retractable rear wing with self leveling rear suspension. I know how
to design those. I could act as a consultant being one of the few persons
in the world with experience in this class of car equipped  with high
mounted wings.

Mazda has the wherewithal to do this as a brand/image/respect builder.
It won't make money but it is cheaper and more effective than advertising.
They could call it the RX-1000-HP or some such and emphasize the 1991 Lemans win.
Won't weigh 4000 pounds like the Bugatti either.

 Ford barely let Mazda produce the RX8... the innovative 4 door design
is what won them over.. I can image Ford letting mazda bring a 4 rotor
car that would probably make the new mustang cobra (R?) looks like an
escort. Granted it's not going to harm the die hard core V8 fans.. but
the fact that, if Mazda follows it's heritage with the rx7 (FE?) or some
other 3-4 rotor super car it would put paid to allot of supercars the
world over in both performance and price. Their are TT 4 rotors in Japan
right now with Greddy T88-32's  making 1200ps and with a set of T88-48's
it makes 1800 ps consistently.. ( I have the article in japanese if
anyone is interested. ).. The garrett equivalent to the T88 is the
GT30-35 or the HKS T04z ( T51KAI )

 This may be a bit to 'tunner-esqe' speak, sorry if it is.. I and my
other rotorhead buddies have pondered the 4 rotor monster for along time..

* I'd name it the  'RX-LM' [for Lemans]

I am interested in that article Ian. Doug (from Japan) on here wife
is japanese and she might translate it for us.
