That just blew my mind.
The geek in me wants to see video of aerodynamic tests

Scans surface from Japan
Where many automotive sites had their hopes up for an all new, next generation RX-8, the spotted mule was instead an RX-8 facelift which is scheduled for a Detroit debut in just over a week time at the North American International Auto Show.
Ten days after the surfacing of those spy photos a Japanese magazine's front cover surfaced on the internet clearly showing the updated RX-8, but the image itself was of very low quality. Yesterday however, Mazda mad Ahura of Mazda-Madness.nl found larger scans of the facelifted RX-8.
So now we know what the faelift will consist of, a new front fascia with adjusted grille, wider headlamps and the foglights have been placed higher while the LED rear lights have received a rounder look. The pictured RX-8 is an RS version with new 19 inch alloy wheels, Recaro seats, rear spoiler. Bilstein suspension which will make its debut at the Tokyo Auto Salon tuner show on January 10.
I'm just curious if those taillights will fit older model RX8s. I hate the current ones (Probably one of about 3 things I hate on the car) and would love to get those fitted.
No way that car would ever be practical or cheap.
They should still take the concept and fit it into some racing class and race it, though, as a prototype. 24h of Le Mans?
I'm pretty sure rotary engines are banned from a lot of FIA Race classes, including 24h Le Mans..
