a prototype of the RX-8 presented at the 2001 NAIAS (notably alongside the Porsche 996 GT2, and another then nearly-finalized Japanese sports coupe, the Nissan Z)
the car has the same naturally-aspirated RENESIS 1.3 twin-rotor as well as the quad coupe bodystyle (sedan???) of the production car, but looks quite different.
funnily enough the final concept version would be unveiled in Tokyo the same year.
