It will be a two-seater, open-topped, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive thing.

Those look like some heavy ass rims....
Also the speedometer goes up to 220 mph ?
what the hell ?
The car looks kinda heavy also.
But i do like the interior.
Not a bad deal for 30000 however.

check again buddy. that's 280kph which in that car shouldn't be too hard. that is definetly the european model, the boost is measured in kilo pascals. kpa for eveyone else.

well i know the regular Mazda 6i weighed in a little over 3000lbs. and this one i would guess would be around 3200lbs.

Actually, it couldn't...the description about the engine location gave that away...
