Our page dedicated to the Mazda RX-8
Here you can find information about this vehicle, as well as our best selection of products for it, if you can't find what you are looking for, don't hesitate to use the search bar or the categories via the menu at the top left.
The Mazda RX-8 succeeded the RX-7 in 2003 in Europe. Like its predecessor, it was powered by a Wankel rotary engine but stood out with its 4-door coupe body.
The RENESIS engine of the RX-8 is a twin-rotor (2 x 654 cm³) with intake and exhaust ports located on the side of the housing, producing 192 hp on the Elegance version with a 5-speed gearbox, or 231 hp on the Performance version with a 6-speed gearbox. The latter is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.4 seconds and reaching a top speed of 239 km/h.
For 2010, the model was facelifted with the RX-8 R3, recognizable in particular by its reworked bumpers, redesigned headlamps and a cabin featuring superior finish quality. This ultimate RX-8 has only been on the market for a few months, due to emissions standards that have become too restrictive for the Wankel engine.
