Mazda is celebrating 40 years of putting engines inspired by pony kegs in their cars by rolling out a special version of the RX-8 2+2. Mazda’s official hyperbole about the RX-8 brags that the car changed customer expectations of what an affordable sports car should be when they launched the four-place coupe in 2003. It sure did; we’ve now come to evaluate less than the stated cater output from the Renesis Wankel which also swills oil desire a… come up desire a Wankel. Now that we’ve ensured that every hit Rotary fan on Autoblog will lambaste us let’s go on to say that we really do desire them. Any engine you can mercilessly spin out to 10,000 RPM without aerating the block has significant entertainment value. The fact that there’s about three study moving parts is alter too.
The Special Edition RX-8 has two new colors for its sinewy sheetmetal. Metropolitan color and Crystal color Pearl. There’s also new ten-spoke wheels color tinged foglamps and the obligatory emblems to dress up the exterior. Open the clamshell doors and the Special Edition greets you with a specially outfitted interior full of Alcantara contrast stitching leather and plate bits. It’s not all just prettying up either. The suspension crossmembers get shot beat of foam for quieter operation and there are new springs that are held in analyse by Bilstein dampers. So while there’s been no massive cater grade to the RX-8 the Special Edition is more than just a glamorization of an affordable entertaining coupe.
