2008 Mazda RX8 speed test picture

As you can see from the 2008 Mazda RX-8 picture above, this is a new breed of sports car, with a one-of-a-kind rotary engine, 250 horses under the hood and room for four adults. With that kind of power, RX-8 speed is unlike any other, and RX-8 test drives are sheer ecstasy. The car isn't available until the summer of 2008, but you can get a sneak peek right here and right now! With that in mind, for all of the latest 2008 RX-8 information, we hope you'll turn to our Website and come back again and again.

From twisty mountain roads to short freeway merge ramps, the smooth power and precision handling of the RX-8 make every ride a pleasure trip. At the heart of this vehicle is the RENESIS Rotary engine, which is lighter and smaller than a traditional DOHC and SOHC. The engine features six large intake ports and four exhaust ports located in side housings, providing approximately 30 percent more intake area over previous Mazda sport engines. Coupled with a six-speed manual transmission, and an advanced front midship layout, this engine is the source of 2008 Mazda RX-8 speed. Don't take our word for it, though, see for yourself.

One look at a 2008 Mazda RX-8 picture like the one above, and you know it - this car was built for performance. At the top of the long, low hood is a power bulge designed in the signature rotary shape. The high wheel arches allude to the car's road-carving prowess. What's more, the concave roof further adds to the car's aerodynamic qualities and overall RX-8 speed. On the inside, these features continue unabated. Standard interior amenities include:

• Large central tachometer



• Digital speedometer



• High central backbone



• Wraparound style bucket seats



• Molded seatbacks



• Leather upholstery and gear-shift



• Custom engineered Bose audio system

In addition to all of this, the RX-8 features separate elements for the low-beam, high-beam, and turn-indicator lights. With all of these design features, the RX-8 tests the true nature of the word chic. Isn't it time you treated yourself to something this sleek?

If you're still not convinced, this will convince you - safety features compliment RX-8 speed, too, and the car is one of the safest sports cars on the road today. The front, mid-ship placement of the RENESIS engine helps realize a large crumple zone between the engine and the front bumper, which enhances impact absorption. The RX-8 also features:

• Highly rigid body structure



• Stout side sills



• "Center Pillar" reinforcement structure



• Antilock disc brakes



• Electronic Brakeforce Distribution



• Dynamic Stability Control



• Supplemental Restraint System



• LATCH child seat anchors
