A sports car like no other Mazda’s uncompromising pursuit of driving enjoyment has resulted in the development of the exhilarating new-look Mazda RX-8. With a combination of inimitably appealing sports-car styling whilst comfortably accommodating four adults thanks to a user-friendly four-door four-seat layout, the RX-8 not only delivers but surpasses all expectations. Powered by the breathtaking RENESIS rotary engine, this light, compact, naturally aspirated twin-rotor unit screams ‘Zoom-Zoom’. Matched to a revised 6-speed manual or new 6-speed Activematic transmission (RX-8 Luxury), the RX-8’s responsiveness can only be described as outstanding. Handling precision is assured with its advanced front-midship layout; long wheelbase; a light, rigid body structure and revised suspension system. Available in three variants; RX-8, RX-8 Luxury or the leaner, meaner, performance focused RX-8 GT. | | RX-8 Body styles Engine Front-midship Renesis - 2 rotors in-line, naturally aspirated, multi-sideport Max power 170 kW @ 8,200 rpm Max torque 211 Nm @ 5,500 rpm Fuel type Premium unleaded (min. 95RON) Fuel consumption 12.9 litres per 100 km Drive Rear-wheel drive Transmission 6-speed manual Key features 18 inch alloy wheels Freestyle door system Air-conditioning (climate control) Cruise control Cloth seat trim AM/FM tuner with CD Player, in-dash 6-disc (MP3 compatible) and 6 speakers Auxiliary input (3.5mm MP3 player compatible) Airbags SRS: front, side & curtain Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) Torque-sensing Super Limited Slip Differential | RX-8 Luxury Body styles Engine Front-midship RENESIS - 2 rotors in-line, naturally aspirated, multi-sideport Max power 170 kW @ 8,200 rpm (manual) 158 kW @ 7,500 rpm (auto) Max torque 211 Nm @ 5,500 rpm Fuel type Premium unleaded (min. 95RON) Fuel consumption 12.9 litres per 100 km (manual) 12.1 litres per 100 km (auto) Drive Rear-wheel drive Transmission 6-speed manual 6-speed Activematic (optional) Key features Power sliding glass sun-roof 18 inch alloy wheels Fog-lamps (front) Freestyle door system Xenon (low beam) headlamps with auto levelling and washer function Air-conditioning (climate control) Aluminium pedals and footrest Cruise control Leather seat trim 8-way power adjustable driver's seat with 3-position memory and power fold functions AM/FM tuner with CD Player, in-dash 6-disc (MP3 compatible) Premium Bose® 300Watt amplifier and 9 speakers Auxiliary input (3.5mm MP3 player compatible) Airbags SRS: front, side & curtain Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) Torque-sensing Super Limited Slip Differential Optional satellite navigation | RX-8 GT Body styles Engine Front-midship RENESIS - 2 rotors in-line, naturally aspirated, multi-sideport Max power 170 kW @ 8,200 rpm Max torque 211 Nm @ 5,500 rpm Fuel type Premium unleaded (min. 95RON) Fuel consumption 12.9 litres per 100 km Drive Rear-wheel drive Transmission 6-speed manual Key features Bilstein shock absorbers 19 inch alloy wheels Aero bumper (front), side skirts and rear spoiler Fog-lamps (front) Freestyle door system Xenon (low beam) headlamps with auto levelling and washer function Air-conditioning (climate control) Aluminium pedals and footrest Cruise control Leather/cloth seat trim RECARO front seats AM/FM tuner with CD Player, in-dash 6-disc (MP3 compatible) and 6 speakers Auxiliary input (3.5mm MP3 player compatible) Airbags SRS: front, side & curtain Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) Torque-sensing Super Limited Slip Differential |
