How do you say ” f#ck yeah’ actually mean in Japanese?

Mazda is fast becoming one of the favorites of 2015. After the new MX-5 is still a rijdersauto on the stack: the RX-9, which the brand recently released a first teaser dispersed. All the ingredients for this successor of the RX-7 seem to be correct. Rear wheel drive, coupélijnen, KODO design language.

We can now, on the authority of insiders, adding that the brand plans to the engine compartment to fill with a rotary engine. Two rotors, two times 800 cc, supplemented by a partly electrically-driven turbo. At low revs the turbo in motion with electricity, coming from a condenser, and then exhaust it at high rpm to take over. It would be a power of 450 hp to produce. Not bad for 1.6 litres engine capacity.

Or the Mazda RX-9 will look like the above shop from a Japanese autoblaadje, and or the specs of the engine knock, we hear at the Tokyo motor show at the end of this month.
