The Mazda RX-8 is a sports car like no other. As the world’s first and only rotary-powered
four-door sports car, it was born ahead and has never looked back. Powered by a turbinesmooth
RENESIS rotary engine that redlines at an astonishing 9,000 rpm* and engineered
to deliver exceptional driving dynamics, the RX-8 has the power to transform even everyday
errands into eagerly anticipated events. Plus its unique Freestyle door system is a brilliantly
innovative exclamation point to the RX-8’s design statement. Experience for yourself a
sports car as unique and uncompromising as the company that builds it. The 2011 RX-8:
Born of passion, fuelled by innovation and engineered by Mazda. Zoom-Zoom. Forever.
