This is what I expected a modern RX-7 to look like.

It’s not a concept, it’s a show car. They’re going to built it. It’s pretty obvious that this design was meant to meet modern safety standards. If they really didn’t intend to produce it they would have gone crazy like on their Vision Gran Turismo concept. They just tarted it up a bit with orange paint and racing stuff, it’s what Renault always do. Of course they’re saying it’s got nothing to do with the future production car, but that’s marketing bullshit. When they unveiled the Twin’Run concept they swore to every god there is that it didn’t preview any production car whatsoever, and a few months later we got the new Twingo.

They are building something. Concepts are a vital part of the process. You make a new design, you show it to the public (an auto show or a press release through a magazine or blog), you gauge the public reaction, and if your target market hates it, you go back to the drawing board and come up with something else.
It’s easier to do that last part when you haven’t sunk $(xx)B into your factory for tooling and equipment with a a continued stream of investment you have to guarantee when you start mass producing something.

Lets hope, If they build this, They build it on a rear/mid engine platform as this concept, Rather than a pretty Sentra or something.
