It is the pinnacle of rotary engine performance and was by far the best of all rotary powered vehicles

It was a halo car.

It’s really good looking, it’s handling is razor sharp, and it’s performance is pretty good. However, it was and is REALLY unreliable. Rotary engines being PITA’s isn’t just a meme, they make Lancer Evolutions and 3000GT VR4’s look like your mom’s Corolla as far as reliability is concerned

Meme. Just needs a rebuild every 70k and it's good.

It looked good. That was it. It looked fantastic. The only bad thing about it was that shitty engine.

>i cant find a non totally riced one for a reasonable (~21-22kUSD) price

i really dont want to settle for an e46 m3. please.

Good shape, great body lines, dope looking taillights, actual fucking front popups, low selling numbers, low supply, high demand, 90s euphoria, RWD, coupe, manual, rotary engine. Influence from atleast three (that I know) video materials: FnF movies, NFS series and Initial D.

You can't call a car or engine unreliable if you don't have any experience with it, or else your opinion is just invalid. I'm not saying rotaries are reliable (not the turbo ones at least), but take care of them and they'll last. Saying they're unreliable just because every mainstream "car page" on Facebook and Instagram said so is just stupid. And that goes for all cars, not just rotary powered. If you never had to live with or work on an Alfa, you can't say it's unreliable simply because you don't know if it is or not. Repeating what others say just because they said it instantly makes you an idiot

70k? 13b-rew will go at least 150k.

How tall are you?

sequential turbos

>not putting a rx-8 turbine into rx-7

Cool
Fast
Unique
Rotary
Turbos
Still competitive to even mid-tier sports cars of modern

Rebuilding a rotary every 70k is the meme, you retard. Don't be another bandwagon sheep.

If the RX8 had a twin-turbo/if you compare to an RX8 with a twin-turbo, the RX8 eeks out a victory. Renesis is superior to wankel.

>making an ignorant biased assumption on an engine they've never owned/driven

This.

>quotes

This, also. Except the turbos were fine once you installed an oil catch and didn't crank it up to 11.

Turbo-built Renesis rotaries are the fucking bomb. I agree with this. I would even say they are more rewarding than a 3 rotor.

Autism
Face it dorito fags pistons are superior

It is a car that actually wants to be near red line as often as possible. There's something about reving the piss out of it and knowing the engine will be just fine.

Just fucking look at it.

oh, is it tethered to the tesla in space? because that's the only way a rotary is going 150k without a rebuild.

No that user but I’m 6’6”
