The Mazda RX8 is a sports car manufactured by the already powerful and known Mazda Motor Corporation. The RX-8 sports car is available in three models, Sport, Touring and Grand Touring. For 2013 Mazda RX-8 is expected to be a 4-passenger sports car equipped with two doors in the back that open in the reverse.. This new type of sports car has a one-of-a-kind Renesis rotary engine (that is smaller and lighter than SOHC and DOHC), 250 horses under the hood and takes speed to another level, making the RX-8 test drives to be sheer ecstasy. The source of this speed is the engine fitted with 6-speed manual transmission, with advanced front mid-ship layout. So the RX-8 achieves a speed of 60 miles per hour in 7 seconds and it can cover a distance of quarter of a mile in 15.4 seconds.
This future model has a good reputation concerning security for the driver, but also for the passenger seated in front, being awarded four stars for the first and all five stars for the second in case of head collision. The two doors in the back that open in reverse are made to help the passengers have an easy entrance and exit, although the passengers shouldn’t be taller than 6 feet. Also, In case of a side on crash, the vehicle received four stars.
The three Mazda models come with different equipment. 2013 Mazda RX-8 Sport model comes equipped with 16 inch tires, CD player, air conditioning and of course powerful accessories. The 2013 Mazda RX 8 Touring Model is equipped with a sun roof, lights to combat fog, system with a CD player that can store up to 6 CDs, a rear view mirror that dims headlights and xenon headlights. The 2013 Mazda RX-8 Grand Touring models add a powered driver’s seat, with seats and mirrors that are heated. A navigation system is optional on the Grand Touring model. Also, all models are equipped with air bags in the side for those seated in the front and anti lock disc brakes.
Standard interior amenities include: digital speedometer, large central tachometer, wraparound bucket seats, central backbone, gear-shift and leather upholstery, molded seat backs, Bose audio system that is custom engineered. The RX-8 is also going to feature: stout side sills, rigid body structure, reinforcement structure(”center pillar”), dynamic stability control, electronic brake force distribution, latch child seat anchors and supplemental restraint system.
It is said to be the final year of the RX-8 even though we have no official news from Mazda regarding a new product. However, Dan Mazella over at RotaryNews.com laid a breaking rumor on and about a rotary powered Mazda sports car. Call it the Mazda RX-7 or the RX-9.
Nevertheless there are reasons to believe these rumors could not be really true. Although Mazda has a relatively solid financial position, they won’t throw money on concept designs and prototypes. Only if the economy improves will they be willing to give that a shot and certainly the next generation must be more efficient than the RX-8 and previous RX-7 generations, or else it will not be built.
Just one look at this car and it makes you think that it was built for performance combined with safety, and great looks given by the aerodynamic shapes.
