A sports car like no other

We are positive your experience with us will be above your expectations. Maybe you own a Mazda now. Maybe you’re brand new to our brand of thinking. Either way, we encourage you to click around here for awhile.

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.

Exterior

An unprecedented four-door sports machine The RX-8’s spirited, athletic exterior styling confirms that it is an authentic incarnation of the Mazda brand. With unique freestyle doors to provide easy access to all four seating positions, the RX-8 keeps the overall dimensions of a sports car and still accommodates four adults comfortably. Key highlights:

18” 5-spoke alloy wheels project an athletic image
Bold front grille, prominent fender flares and a sleek, sculpted body complete the RX-8’s assertive good looks
Unique complex curves and headlamp and tail lamp design is definitively Mazda
Tight, uniform gaps between body panels reduce noise and show quality craftsmanship

Interior

Simple, functional interior enhances driving pleasure

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.

Key interior design elements include:

Sports car gauges with prominent tachometer that registers up to 10,000 rpm on 6-speed models
Four sculpted bucket seats
Rotor-shaped aluminum seat bezel motif
Rotor-shaped manual transmission shift knob
Premium Bose® audio system and with 6-disc in-dash CD changer, nine speakers and steering wheel mounted controls completes the sporty interior design
