Saw this on another forum and found it interesting if not surprising....rumors of the same have been floating for a while. A mild makeover and a rotary engine to go with that hardtop could make for an interesting RX7 revival.

If it holds true, it's about time. Just put MS3-type engine in there along with some brake/suspension tweaks and call it a day. Save the turbo Rotary for another RX "X" riding on a derivative chassis based off this vehicle.
