One example I can think of is the RX7 vs. RX8. The RX7 is arguably faster in most situations, if not all, so I'm not sure why Mazda brought out the RX8 in the first place, it was supposed to be the succesor to the RX7 and they couldn't even make it faster with more techonoly and research.
It would be like Ferrari bringing out the 458 and it ends up being slower than the previous 430.... Just doesn't make sense.
