The RX8 took the notion of a sports coupe and redefined it. The rotary engine - assumed by many to have been forgotten by Mazda - was back with a bang but in the best possible way. The RX8 won prizes and scooped awards by outperforming opposition that often had much heftier price tags or good engines in a humdrum package with lacklustre chassis dynamics.
The RX-8 is a fast, smooth and very distinctive choice in a world full of 'me too' styling. The 'clap hand' doors had not been seen on a production car for decades - Mazda made them safe for the new century and created a full four seater with low slung looks. The Renesis evolution of the Mazda 13B rotary engine benefits from Mazda's steady progress with materials technology and 21st century electronic management to make it a truly modern package.
Like the FC RX-7, the '8' is offered in two states of tune but whatever your choice
MRP have some tempting upgrade and performance options which can make this unique car better. The after-market for performance and styling products for these cars is still relatively young but our suppliers are now listing more equipment and we are developing our own range of products to address some issues that make a great car less easy to live with than we think it should be. (Watch this space)
MRP offer a full range of performance and styling upgrades (from all the right people) to take your FD from mild to wild - depending on your need for speed!
