this roadster includes a 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8, conveying an expected 600 drive and 590 lb-ft of force. This motor plan, roused by Cadillac’s hustling legacy. Empowers the XLR to accomplish a 0-60 mph time in just shy of four seconds.

The more I look, the more likely it's not really real.
But one can hope...
Maybe, or just built one as a prototype to flex.
Thats how I felt about the Mazda RX-Vision. Get rid of the rotary and drop in a twin turbo V8, that thing would be supercar level sexy.
But I'm a poor; what will it cost?
I really dig the exterior look, combined with the retro interior. A nice touch.

So yes, sort of depending on definition.....
Mazda has been tinkering with the rotary in the background but didn't have a rotary in a car after 2012 in the US. FYI, there is an entire subculture that has been continuing the life of the rotary with aftermarket builds and supports. However, you have been able to get a Mazda 13B block and parts FROM MAZDA for the last decade. I have been moments away from buying an RX8 multiple times (most recent had the trailer on the truck and prepped to head out the next day when the seller backed out). But, the rotary has been sold in Europe for the last couple years in a crossover production vehicle.
And, last I read was that they are looking at producing a new rotary plant, and it may be used to direct drive or in a hybrid fashion to power electric drive motors. It's not in a production sports car so TBD on exact application. Patents have been submitted, but there is talk about 2026 RX7 / Iconic SP. Sorry to hijack your thread OP...
I also got wind of the Camaro coming back and was jazzed when I saw it at the Atlanta Car show back in 2005/06, but the actual release wasn't quiet as sexy as the prototype they were demoing. So actual implementation is always TBD.
I see a few hundred making it to the highway. Incentives will include a gold chain package suitable for wearing with an Italian silk shirt in colors worn by 70+ year old men.

Starting price $127k, Seems a bit steep to announce to the world that you have a small penis.
Hell I’m an old man and I can’t explain it, One of the best things I figured out for me long ago was “status” wasn’t important.
Chicks like the long ball, Scott… they always have and they always will. I learned that in Little League almost 70 years ago. 😉
