NO CYLINDERS. NO PISTONS. NO V{LVES. {ND NO EQU{L.
Make no mistake. The Mazda RX-8 is a sports car like no other. With an engine to match. Fact is, Mazda’s commitment to rotary engine technology enabled
it to become the first and only Japanese carmaker to win the grueling 24 Hours of Le Mans. And today, its meticulously hand-assembled, award-winning
RENESIS rotary engine, which incorporates just three major moving parts, powers every open-wheel racer that competes in the Star Mazda Championship.
The RX-8’s potent 232-hp powerplant is renowned for its turbinelike smoothness, broad powerband and sky-high 9000-rpm redline.* And it’s expertly
managed by a short-throw, close-ratio 6-speed manual with carbon triple-cone synchronizers for quick, precise gear changes. Also available on all RX-8
models, except the R3, is a smooth-shifting 6-speed Sport AT automatic transmission. Its Adaptive Shift Logic actually learns and adjusts to your personal
driving style. It even features a manual-shift mode that enables you to upshift or downshift via its standard shifter or Formula One-inspired steering-
wheel-mounted paddle shifters. The RX-8’s advanced, rotary design reflects the countless insights Mazda has gleaned from putting nearly 2 million rotary-
powered vehicles on the road. Reflecting four decades of exhaustive research, development and refinement. And of course, racing.
