We can only hope that this true. That means there is a possibility that a street car will make it to prduction.

Can you say Subaru WRX and Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VII.


Bring on the Turbo, AWD, Production Protege.

In the mid-1980's, Mazda produced the 323 GTX, GTX-R etc. These were designed as turbocharged 4wd Rally cars. The 323 evolved into the Protege. An interesting side note is that a decendent of the engine used in those cars continues in today's Miata.

I can't wait to watch those races.....but unfortunately....just because a turbo AWD version reaches the streets....doesn't mean it will reach OUR streets... :{( but one could hope.
