Yeap - the Mazda RX8 does have a 1.3 engine, and it generates somewhere around 300++ HP I think. Go check somewhere peeps.

most of you are wrong.
It's a 1.3L Rotary engine, producing 250hp normally aspirated. Now, consider the RX-7 RZ. 280hp out of the 1.3L Twin Turbo.
And in any engine, liter, or displacement, is just the volume that can go into the engine. In piston engines, normally it's the more = faster/more powerful. In Rotary engine, they are mostly the same. The RX-7, starting with the first gen GSL-SE, are 1.3L. The GSL-SE's 13B makes 138hp, N/A ofcourse. 2nd gen RX-7 Non-turbos made 142hp, and the Turbo IIs made 187hp, and the Infinis made 212 hp. 3rd gen RX-7s, the US model made 255hp, and the Japanese models made up to 280hp.
All out of a 1.3L, the world's most powerful engine per liter, the RX-7 RZ was 192hp/liter.
And yes, they are twin rotors. All of the Mazda rotaries, going back to the first mass produced rotary car, the Cosmo Sports, are 2 rotors. A rotary engine has to have atleast 2 rotors because one would vibrate the car to death, so 2 or more balance it out and makes the engine the smoothest running in the world.
Any further questions?
And do you want this thread moved to MAZ? I mean, Rotaries are Mazda only, cause the US companies couldn't figure them out...

The Hayabusa has a 1.3L Inline-4. It produces somewhere around 180hp.

all very nice but check out the blitz skyline:
http://www.fantasycars.com/derek/cars/r348.html
345bhp per litre, thats what i call sweet
in fact any skyline engine modded to 1000hp will have more because an r34 engine is 2.5 litres if im not mistaken

- Flerbizky
I'm used to that
But let me let you in on a little secret
They are restricted in the exhaust. Any homegrown (or aftermarket) exhaust without the pollution thingy will instantly give you 190Bhp... I'll find the article when I get home..

No, i think the most powerful engine per liter was and still is the Honda S2000. Forgot the specs on it though. Was on the SPEED Channel.
I know how you feel Mazkid, STL has those emmisions tests. My dad hated those when we lived there. He just put on the filer when we had to go get the emissions checked, then when we got home he took them off

On a side note, anyone see the great appereance it made in X2. Damn, that car sounded and looked great. I say Oscar for best supporting prop!
Haha!
I don't think it's worth money to see the movie just for the car though, so I'll wait till it's on Dish or something. That's a good idea for a Oscar category. "In the category of best supporting prop in a movie: The Tour bus in Head of State, The RX-8 in X-men 2, (insert movie here cause I donno). And the winner is, the 2004 Mazda RX-8! *wild clapping, car pulls on stage at full revs*. Heh
