Mazda RX-8
A revolution on the roadThe award-winning Mazda RX-8 is setting new standards in the sports car market for handling, performance and comfort, particularly with its specially developed RENESIS rotary engine.
Delight in the detail
Breathtaking car from any angle, its strikingly smooth exterior has been achieved by eliminating the gaps between exterior parts to provide a more precise fit and finish.
Design details representing the unique RENESIS rotary engine feature throughout the car - on the gear stick, the head rest, even the brake light. This painstaking attention to detail also includes the appearance of the engine compartment.
Two choices, one spirit
When you buy the new Mazda RX-8, you'll be able to choose from two variations of the RENESIS powertrain: The high power specification, producing 231ps and the standard power unit producing 192ps. Both offer breathtaking performance with exceptional handling and road holding.
The low centre of gravity of the unique RENESIS engine and unique powertrain location means that the Mazda RX-8 has near perfect 50/50 weight distribution - giving it exceptional agility and responsiveness. The result is the thrilling drive of a classic sports car.
Versatile, innovative thinking
As well as sleek sports styling, the Mazda RX-8 contains enough room to make it a truly practical car for everyday use. The newly developed freestyle door system allows the compact looking sports style cabin in combination with the convenience of easy access.
In addition, a 290-litre boot volume means you'll have enough room to hold two suitcases or golf bags. The console box also incorporates a new idea in space efficient stowage: the lid, which doubles as an armrest slides rearward to reveal two cup holders behind the gearshift lever. In its rearmost position the console box opens to reveal storage for four CD cases.
Unique reassurance
The Mazda RX-8 is a car with exceptional safety standards. A wide range of safety features and the unique centre-opening freestyle door configuration offer advanced protection in the event of an accident.
Essential to the Mazda RX-8's freestyle door system is a standard of side impact safety comparable with the typical four-door sedan. Extensive reinforcement of the inside of the rear doors and significantly improved body side strength achieves world-class safety performance.
Front driver and passenger SRS airbags are featured as well as curtain and side airbags. The car also has an intrusion minimising brake pedal to help reduce foot and leg injuries in a frontal collision. Pedestrian safety is also considered with the aluminium hood having a cone-type construction to absorb and cushion impacts in the event of a car-pedestrian accident. And active safety is greatly enhanced with large diameter disc brakes giving ample stopping power when stopping suddenly. You and your passengers have fantastic all-round protection.
A cabin without compromise
The only sports coupe to seat two adults comfortably in the back, the cabin of the Mazda RX-8 is unique. A fine balance of authentic sports styling, fine craftsmanship and smart engineering, it is designed to deliver maximum driving pleasure and complete comfort to you and all your passengers.
