Mazdaspeed2 in the works? Redesigned RX-8 coming to Tokyo

According the folks over at WhatCar, Mazda engineers are saying that Mazda is studying the possibility of a Mazdaspeed variant for the mini Mazda 2.

According to the engineers, Mazda would use a 2.0 liter turbocharged engine that produces about 230 horsepower and 231 lb-ft of torque. It hasn’t even been officially confirmed whether the U.S. will be getting the Mazda2 and Mazda seems to be giving the other markets a faster version of it. Life isn’t fair.

WhatCar is also saying that the revised RX-8 Coupe will be making it to the Tokyo Motor Show in October. Mazda will also be showing a hybrid variant of the RX-8 at Tokyo.
