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.
