A true sports car that dares to lead rather than follow. The incomparable Mazda RX-8. The world’s first and only rotary-powered, four-door sports car. Its aggressive, predatory stance instantly telegraphs its adrenaline-fueled intentions. Its free-revving engine redlines at a lofty 9000 rpm. * And its superb driving dynamics do its legendary predecessors proud. Driven by imagination–and fueled by innovation–it’s a boldly original means to a truly exhilarating end. Zoom-Zoom. Forever. * Automatic transmission redlines at 7500 rpm. { V{RI{TION ON {N {LRE{DY J{W-DROPPING THEME. The Mazda RX-8 R3 is the most distinctive and dynamic performer in the RX-8 family. Factory upgrades include an aggressively sculpted front end, sleek side sill extensions and rear wing spoiler. Outstanding control and a tenacious grip testify to R3’s torque-sensing limitedslip differential and larger 19-inch forged alloy wheels fitted with sticky 225/40R19 W-Speed-Rated rubber. Superior handling, tracking and damping are served up by the R3’s high-performance suspension tuned around four formidable Bilstein® shock absorbers. Inside, it’s equally impressive. High-bolstered Recaro® front bucket seats, exclusive to the R3, support driver and front passenger. A Bose® 9-speaker Centerpoint® Surround Sound System pumps out music that is sharp in detail and rich in emotion. While Bluetooth® hands-free phone connectivity and Mazda’s Advanced Keyless Entry and Start System round out the perfect balance of performance and technology. 1 2 1.

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 steeringwheel-mounted paddle shifters. The RX-8’s advanced, rotary design reflects the countless insights Mazda has gleaned from putting nearly 2 million rotarypowered vehicles on the road. Reflecting four decades of exhaustive research, development and refinement. And of course, racing. * Automatic transmission produces 212 hp and redlines at 7500 rpm.
