The Mazda RX-8 is a true original – from how it looks to how it performs. For starters, it has four doors and accommodations for four passengers. Plus an award-winning, 232-hp RENESIS rotary engine teamed with a manual transmission that redlines at a stratospheric 9,000 rpm.* And rockets from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.0 seconds. Equally impressive, the same rotary engine found in every RX-8 also powers every Star Mazda Racing Series competitor. One drive and the way you think about sports cars will never be the same.

The RX-8’s striking array of innovations is also reflected in its versatility and safety. Its “freestyle” door system, for example, does away with the centre pillar to grant four adults unrestricted access to first-class seating. While its comprehensive matrix of safety features includes both proactive and passive systems. Most notable are the RX-8’s massive four-wheel disc brakes with Anti-lock Brake System (ABS). Its rack-and-pinion steering with a speed-sensitive electric boost for precise directional control. A full complement of air bags and air curtains. Unencumbered by the tradeoffs typical of traditional sports cars, the RX-8 redefines the sports car for future generations.

The interior of the RX-8 is fashioned in true sports car style, with a functional cockpit and luxury touches that include available leather-trimmed seating surfaces and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with Homelink capability. Even the interior showcases the unique design of the rotary engine, with the rotor motif evident in the seatbacks and the manual shift knob. Mazda has broken the notion of sports cars as cramped coupes by effectively demonstrating that a true sports car does not need to sacrifice space or convenience

 

The cockpit follows Mazda's traditional sports spirit, giving a feeling of urgent expectancy as soon as you open the door. One of the most striking features of the interior is the dynamic backbone extending from the central section of the instrument panel, through the center console, and on to the rear parcel shelf. The spacious cabin, viewed from four opened doors, conveys a look of vitality and comfort and compliments the emotional impact of the car's exterior. All in all, the RX-8 cabin provides a pleasingly snug feeling and a sense of anticipation.

The RX-8 is first and foremost a sports car, with the performance to match its aggressive street presence. The smooth power provided by the RENESIS rotary engine works in harmony with the RX-8’s advanced suspension and chassis design to deliver an exhilarating driving experience that’s sure to impress the driving enthusiast. Rear wheel drive and a near perfect 50/50 weight distribution complete the RX-8’s incredible performance package
