Overview
A four-door, four-seat sports car. It carried RENESIS, a naturally aspirated new-generation rotary engine made smaller and more powerful, combining sports car styling and dynamics at a high level with the practicality to carry four adults in comfort. For getting in and out of the front and rear seats it adopted center-pillarless freestyle doors, with a built-in pillar reinforcing the inside of the rear doors against side impacts. The high-power version produced 184 kW (250 PS). It was announced that production would end.
